Marlins Send Edward Cabrera to Mound with Chance to Sweep Series
The Miami Marlins have already won the series, but they’re not done yet.
Miami took down the Colorado Rockies in extras to take game one of the series and then followed that up with a comfortable 4-1 victory last night to notch their first series win.
But they want more. Edward Cabrera takes the mound today with an opportunity to get the team’s first sweep of the season; Colorado’s countering with Peter Lambert.
Lineups for the Miami Marlins and Colorado Rockies on Thursday, May 2nd

Cabrera’s currently 1-1 on the season with a 5.28 ERA, but he’s hoping to lower that today. Colorado’s not a good offensive team on the road and he’s got a good track record here: in two career starts (both in Colorado) he’s 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA, having struck out fifteen in twelve innings.
