As the Miami Marlins seek to win their fifth series in June, RHP Max Meyer will look to continue making his case for the MLB All-Star Game on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants. 

Meyer is set to make his 16th start of the season and his second career start against San Francisco. He recently established a new Marlins record by going 15-consecutive starts without a loss to start the season. 

In Meyer’s previous start, he held the Pittsburgh Pirates to one earned run on six hits with a season-high nine strikeouts in six innings. 

Meyer remains at his best at his home ballpark. He has a 1.97 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 45.2 innings through eight starts at loanDepot park.

Meyer leads the Marlins pitching staff with 95 strikeouts, which is tied for seventh in the National League. 

The Marlins went from losing five straight games to end May to going 12-4 at the start of June. During their 16-game stretch, the Marlins have most wins in the Major Leagues. They outscored opponents by a 25 -run margin (78-53), including 21 home runs during the stretch. 

The Marlins are among the best teams in the big leagues in both protecting their home field and playing during the afternoon. The Marlins are 24-16 at home, which is the fourth most wins in all of baseball. The Marlins are also 20-14 during day games, which is the highest mark in the Majors.
