CINCINNATI (Ticker) - The surprising Florida Marlins look to continue their winning ways when they visit the Cincinnati Reds in the opener of a four-game set Monday.
Despite easily owning the lowest payroll in baseball, Florida has reeled off seven straight wins and holds a three-game lead in the National League East.
The Marlins boast baseball's best road record at 11-5 after completing a three-game sweep at the Washington Nationals over the weekend.
Dan Uggla blasted two home runs, including the go-ahead solo shot in the eighth on Sunday, capping a three-run inning that gave Florida a 5-4 win. The Marlins second baseman now has 11 home runs this season.
Rookie Burke Badenhop (1-2, 6.31 ERA) looks to continue the Marlins early season success, as he goes for his second straight victory.
The 23-year-old righthander earned his first major league win, allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings in a 6-2 victory over Milwaukee on Wednesday.
He will be opposed by Aaron Harang (1-5, 3.09), who has not benefited from any run support so far this season.
The Reds ace lost just six games all of last season but has dropped his last three starts and four straight decisions. Harang has gotten just three runs of support during his last three outings.
The righthander allowed three runs in seven innings as the Reds were shutout, 3-0, by Chicago last Tuesday.
