Marlins, thriving against weaker foes, face Royals again

The Miami Marlins have reached a soft spot on their schedule, and they are taking full advantage of it.

Miami is off to a 4-0 start in a six-game stretch during which it plays the two worst teams in the majors. The Marlins will look for a fifth straight victory on Tuesday when they host the Kansas City Royals.

After sweeping the Oakland Athletics, whose 12-50 record is the worst in the majors, Miami beat the Royals 9-6 on Monday in the series opener. Kansas City holds the second-worst record in baseball at 18-42.
