The Miami Marlins have been on a roll lately, shaking off some early issues and playing some really good baseball. As a result they've won eight of their last nine games and the last three series. Can they keep that positive momentum going as they head to New York to face the Mets for a weekend series? The first game of the series will be on Friday, first pitch is scheduled for 7:10 pm, and you can find the game on Fox Sports Florida.

The Marlins will send Mark Buehrle to the mound, who will be looking to improve on his 2-4 record so far this year. The Mets will counter with Johan Santana, who is still looking to get back into his groove.

We'll have plenty more on this series throughout the weekend here on SB Nation Tampa Bay, so keep it locked to this StoryStream for all the latest news and available updates.
