The Florida Marlins were disappointed by how they started their final series before the All-Star break, but they have good reason to believe they can bounce back with Ricky Nolasco on the mound. Nolasco goes for his fourth straight win when the Marlins continue a four-game road set against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Florida fell 10 games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL East after suffering a 10-4 loss to Arizona on Thursday. The defeat dropped the Marlins to 5-5 during a stretch of 13 straight games outside of Florida, which they opened by winning two of three against the New York Mets in Puerto Rico - contests officially considered home games for the Marlins. Florida had three errors Thursday and gave up a double-digit run total for the fourth time this year - one night after shutting out the Los Angeles Dodgers.

While the Marlins have been inconsistent recently, Nolasco certainly hasn’t, winning his last three starts including one in Puerto Rico and a victory in Atlanta on Sunday. He gave up two runs and struck out a season-high 11 in the 3-2 win over the Braves. A fourth straight win would tie the longest streak of the right-hander’s career - set last season. Nolasco is 5-1 with a 3.53 ERA in five starts against Arizona. He’ll need to be wary of shortstop Stephen Drew, who is 8 for 16 with three homers and two doubled against him. Nolasco will seek to hand the Diamondbacks their sixth loss in seven games after Arizona snapped a five-game losing streak Thursday. The Diamondbacks were outscored 40-13 during their slide, but matched a season high with 15 hits - four apiece by Kelly Johnson and Geraldo Parra - in the series opener.
