Marlins keep lead in tight East division

The NL East is shaping up to be a very uncertain affair with the exception of
the doormat Nationals team. Four games are within five games of first. All of them
have good chances to be competitive.

That’s why the win over the Mets in the “rubber” game of the three game series
was big. The Marlins fought back from a deficit for the second straight night and overcome
another strong start by their ace Johan Santana. We can be grateful that they chose to
take him out so soon.

The fish have maintained their lead in the division despite suffering a seven game
losing streak. They now go to Chicago to take on a team with the best record in the
National League last year. Good performances will be needed to get wins up there.
