Florida swept Washington in the nation’s capital from Aug. 10-12 - giving it four straight wins overall - before ending up on the other end of a sweep in Cincinnati. The slide extended to four with a 7-1 loss Monday at Pittsburgh, but the Marlins have made a bid to end the trip on a high note. Ricky Nolasco pitched six strong innings in a 6-0 win Tuesday and Josh Johnson snapped his five-start winless streak by going eight innings in Wednesday’s 3-2 victory. The Florida Marlins would love to close their 10-game road trip the same way they opened it - with a third straight victory. Consecutive wins over the Pittsburgh Pirates have given them a chance, and they’ll try to wrap up just their second series victory at PNC Park in nine years Thursday night.

Florida has never won three in a row at PNC Park, and it’s only won one road series against the Pirates since 2002. It’ll try to end that drought Thursday against Paul Maholm, and should have a good chance. The Marlins are hitting .323 against left-handers since July 23 while winning six of the seven times a southpaw has started against them. A pair of rookies have led the way. Left fielder Logan Morrison is 6 for 17 with three RBIs and three walks versus lefties in that stretch, while right fielder Mike Stanton is 6 for 19 with a homer, four doubles and six RBIs. Maholm lost for the fourth time in five starts Saturday at Houston, but delivered his best outing of the bunch. Maholm had a 9.90 ERA in his previous four starts before holding Houston to three runs over 6 2-3 innings in a 3-2 loss.
