The Miami Marlins have been practically guaranteed a victory every fifth day thanks to Jose Fernandez. The Marlins have won 10 of Fernandez’ 12 starts this season, including the past eight heading into his next start against the Arizona Diamondbacks Saturday.
Fernandez has actually been getting better as the season has gone on, as the righty has allowed just three earned runs in his past 41.0 innings pitched while registering 63 strikeouts in that span.
Zack Godley will get the call-up and start for the Diamondbacks in Saturday’s tilt – becoming the eighth different pitcher to start for the team this season. In 11 starts between Double-A And Triple-A this year, Godley is 4-5 with a 3.61 ERA.
