Miami Marlins
Miami avoided a sweep in Atlanta only because the finale was rained out on Wednesday. The Braves still won both the games the two teams played, so perhaps it was a sweep after all.
At least the Marlins’ bullpen got some rest on Wednesday after six consecutive games, one of which went ten innings over the weekend. The Fish went just 2–4 in the six and are starting to fade, winning about one out of every three so far in the second half.

Trevor Richards has been the team’s best starting pitcher here in his rookie season. He turned 25 this season a month after debuting at 24. And while the start to his career wasn’t flawless, he’s shown great improvement in the last month or so.
Richards didn’t lose in five July starts, giving up one earned run in nearly nineteen innings over his final three outings. The first of the three (and the one win) came against Philly, when he gave up nothing in six innings. He struck out eight in six shutout innings against the Nationals in his last start.
Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia has its own young starter on a roll going on Friday. Vince Velasquez got lit up nearly two months ago on June 8 against the Brewers and he has been dominant since.
Velasquez is 3–1 with a 2.48 ERA in seven starts since, holding opponents to a .163 batting average. He gave up two runs in 19 innings in July.

Philadelphia snapped a four-game losing streak on Tuesday in Boston before getting Wednesday off. It has the slimmest of leads over Atlanta in the NL East and won’t see the Braves head-to-head until the two teams square off seven times in the final 11 days of the season.
