But there's one team – the Milwaukee Brewers – that's played as well as the Marlins since June 13, when they began a roll that's now at 30 wins in 44 games and resulted in them being very much alive rather than a carcass to be picked over at the July 31 trade deadline.

The Marlins now have a 25-24 record all-time (including postseason) against the Yankees, making the club the only team in MLB with a winning record vs. New York, according to MLB.com.
