Marlins' Austin Kitchen: Opening Friday's game
Austin Kitchen will serve as the Miami Marlins' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.Edward Cabrera was slated to start Friday, but he was scratched for an unspecified reason. The Marlins will turn to Kitchen to open Friday's contest, but because he hasn't pitched more than two innings in any of his three major-league appearances this season, he shouldn't be expected to provide much length in what could end up being a bullpen game for Miami. Kitchen will be pitching on two days' rest after tossing 1.1 scoreless innings in a relief appearance Tuesday against the Nationals.
