Florida Marlins set a major league record as the fastest team to ever go from 10 games above .500 to 10 games below, the Cubs - with a payroll exceeding $125 million - were much more consistent in their first-half struggles. They went 1-19 to begin June, culminating with a franchise record-tying 11-game skid that dropped them into last place. They try to win a sixth straight game for the first time since April 2009 on Thursday night when they play the first of four against the Cubs, who hope a 10-game homestand can help them improve the majors’ second-worst record.
Chicago Cubs probably isn’t the best way for him to get back on track. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 6.91 ERA in three career starts versus the Cubs, allowing 14 walks and three homers in 14 1-3 innings. They have to hope the version of Marlins starter Anibal Sanchez they’ll see Thursday is the one who’s given up 12 runs over 7 2-3 innings in two July starts, and not the one who went 5-0 with a 2.17 ERA from May 8-June 26. They are majors’ lone team without a three-game winning streak, and after Sunday’s 9-1 loss at Pittsburgh it went into the break with just one series victory in its last 13.
