Miami Marlins
The Marlins have decided to start Valente Bellozo, a right-hander, in the upcoming game. Bellozo has been performing well, winning back-to-back starts and delivering 12.2 scoreless innings. Despite not having overpowering stuff, he has shown an ability to limit hard contact early in his MLB career. According to yahoo.com, Bellozo induced just six whiffs on 45 swings and allowed six hard-hit baseballs in his recent game against the Phillies but still kept them off the scoreboard. He has only allowed two earned runs in his last three starts against strong lineups. The 24-year-old pitcher has a 2.28 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 27 big-league frames. The Marlins, currently ranked 29th in offense and 28th in defense, are struggling this season with a 45-77 record and are buried in last place in the National League East.
