Phelps To Marlins Rotation
David Phelps has been used mainly out of the bullpen this season by manager Don Mattingly but that will change when the Marlins go on the road to play the Rockies for a three game series starting Friday. First pitch is set for 8:40 pm.
Phelps will be the starter after recently acquired pitcher Colin Rea was injured on Saturday and the Marlins traded him back to the Padres." According to http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/17193888/miami-marlins-sending-colin-rea-back-san-diego-padres"
Right hander David Phelps who has a record of 5-5 to go along with a 2.65 earn run average will take the mound for the Marlins against Rockies left hander Jorge LaRosa he is 7-7 with a 5.51 earn run average .
Will Phelps get his second win of the season? Will the Marlins offense be able to score enough runs to back up his start ? Those questions are yet to be answered but will be answered soon enough.
Go Marlins!
