Dodgers vs Marlins: Lineups, Pregame Matchups, and More for August 26
The Dodgers head to Miami to start a four-game series with the Marlins this afternoon.
Tyler Anderson, who started against the Marlins in Los Angeles last weekend and allowed one run in seven innings, will take the mound for the Dodgers in the series opener.
For most of the Marlins players, their only experience facing Anderson came in that game last week, which the Dodgers won, 2-1, on some late-night heroics from Trayce Thompson. Only Brian Anderson (3-for-11 with five strikeouts) and Miguel Rojas (3-for-10 with two doubles) have ten or more career plate appearances against the lefty.
Anderson was an All-Star this season, and he’s currently 13-2 with a 2.73 ERA. He has the sixth-best ERA in the National League, and with a strong outing tonight he could move up to fifth (Zac Gallen is at 2.66).
The Marlins appear to be going with somewhat of a bullpen game today, with right-hander Tommy Nance up first. Nance is a Long Beach native who threw two scoreless innings last Saturday at Dodger Stadium. Rookie Bryan Hoeing, who got knocked around by the Dodgers in his major-league debut that same night, is likely to follow him.
Gavin Lux is still out of the lineup with a neck issue, his third straight missed game, so Chris Taylor gets the start at second base with Trayce Thompson in left field.
