Gathering mold in the basement the last week, the Marlins have inherited from the Mets the mantle of "National League's Streakingest Team," currently riding a five-game winning roll.
[list][*]Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria is your National League Player of the Week, having gone 12-for-24, with 10 RBIs and eight runs.

[*]Giancarlo hitting the ball HARD.

[*]Ichiro recently scored his 1,968th run, combining his NPB and MLB careers, putting him past Saduharu Oh in runs scored among Japanese-born players. Oh never had a 162 game season to work with, and he was frequently treated as not really Japanese in his time, but milestones matter to Ichiro.

[*]Christian Yelich: disabled list. He had a terrible series against the Mets back at Citi Field. Henderson Alvarez remains unavailable also.

[*]Dee Gordon is hotter than July, and leads the league with 32 hits.
