Marlins Attempt To Secure First Divisional Sweep of Season Versus Mets

The Miami Marlins are looking for a sweep today. 

Fresh off of a series win over the Detroit Tigers, Miami’s taken the first two games of their series with the New York Mets behind a dominant pitching effort in game one and a 10th-inning rally punctuated by Otto Lopez’s first career walkoff in game two. 

Miami’s looking to get just their second sweep of the season this afternoon. They’ll send Sixto Sánchez (0-1, 5.96) to the mound against Mets lefty Sean Manaea (2-1, 3.05)

Lineups for the Miami Marlins and New York Mets on Sunday, May 19th

Here's how Miami will line up for the contest:

CF Jazz Chisholm Jr.
LF Bryan De La Cruz
DH Josh Bell
1B Jake Burger
3B Emmanuel Rivera
2B Otto Lopez
RF Dane Myers
SS Vidál Bruján
C Christian Bethancourt

Sánchez continues to try and build up as a starter, with each outing going longer than the last. He allowed three runs his last time out, but no earned runs, lowering his ERA a bit further and providing hope that he can make it at least five this time out. He’s never faced the Mets and no New York hitter has an at-bat off of him. 

Here is the Mets lineup:

SS Francisco Lindor
1B Pete Alonso
DH Brandon Nimmo
RF DJ Stewart
LF Tyrone Taylor
3B Brett Baty
2B Jeff McNeil
CF Harrison Bader
C Omar Narváez

Manaea’s facing the Marlins for the third time as a starter, hoping for some better results: He’s 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in the first two outings. There’s not a lot of experience on Miami’s roster against him, but what there is is pretty good: catcher Nick Fortes is 2-2, both homers, while infielder Emmanuel Rivera is 2-3 with a homer.
