The Guardians began a six-game homestand against the Marlins and Atlanta Braves Aug. 12 that runs through the week. That will be followed by a six-game road trip beginning Aug. 18 against the Arizona Diamondbacks and then the Texas Rangers (Aug. 22-24).

The Cleveland Guardians are looking for their fifth consecutive series victory this week, but it’s not going to come easily. The Miami Marlins have been one of the best surprises in baseball this season and have multiple players who are emerging as cornerstones of the franchise and possibly All-Stars later in their careers.
