Marlins playing the hot hand in left

The Marlins will likely ride the hot hand in left, according to MLB.com.

Justin Ruggiano was a surprise start against Matt Cain Sunday. Ruggiano has been playing against left-handers, but got the start because manager Mike Redmond wanted added power in the lineup. Though Juan Pierre was playing well in June, with a 14-game hitting streak at one point, Ruggiano could see more time after Sunday's game.
