The Marlins are just the fifth team in the wild card era to reach .500 in a season after being 16 or games underneath at some point prior in the year, according to Elias Sports. Oddly, it's the second time in Marlins franchise history they've accomplished that feat, joining the 2006 squad. Here are the three others:

The Yankees (60-52), who are 4 ½ games behind the Blue Jays in the AL East and 1 ½ games behind the second-place Red Sox, were swept by the Marlins for the first time in franchise history and have lost 27 of their last 45 games.

The Yankees have struggled mightily of late, and Aaron Boone is pointing the finger at himself for their shortcomings.

"We're the Yankees," Boone said. "When we lose games, if it's in and around a mistake, that criticism is fair game."
