Ramon Ortiz (0-2, 8.18)Ortiz has little experience in Dolphins Stadium, pitching there only once and having a 1-0 record with a 7.50 ERA in that game. He is 1-1 overall against the Marlins with a 3.46 ERA in two games, including seven innings when he didn?t allow an earned run and lost 2-0 last season.
Sergio Mitre (1-1, 3.75)In his first start ever at Dolphins Stadium, Mitre was victimized by the long ball. The right-hander yielded two home runs to San Diego's Khalil Greene, and five runs on seven hits in six innings to even his record on the season. In two starts, he has logged 12 innings, surrendering five runs. For his career, Mitre has faced the Nationals once as a member of the Cubs. He lost that contest last year, giving up one run in 2 1/3 innings.
