Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim vs Florida Marlins
7:10 PM ET, June 20, 2011
Sun Life Stadium, Miami, Florida
The abrupt resignation of manager Edwin Rodriguez did nothing to help the Florida Marlins end their lengthy losing streak. Returning home doesn't seem to promise better results.
The Marlins will try to avoid matching a team record with an 11th consecutive loss when they face the Los Angeles Angels and ace Jered Weaver on Monday night.
Rodriguez, the major leagues' first Puerto Rican-born manager when he was hired following Fredi Gonzalez's dismissal last season, quit prior to a 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday.
"It was a tough day," said bench coach Brandon Hyde, who takes over for Rodriguez while the team searches for an interim manager. "Edwin talked to the staff this morning. It's been a roller-coaster, let's put it that way, the past few weeks. It's disappointing."
Florida (32-40) has lost 20 of 22 overall and 11 of 12 at home.
"We have to continue to play hard, go out there and keep fighting," said first baseman Gaby Sanchez, a career .402 hitter against the AL.
