A lot happened over the past week for the Miami Marlins.

Luis Arraez hit for the first cycle in franchise history.

Sandy Alcantara had back-to-back rough outings.

Jorge Soler provided a pair of clutch home runs and has begun showing steady glimpses of that middle-of-the-order production the Marlins have longed to see.

And, perhaps most importantly, the wins have started to come. Miami has won six of its last eight games and has a winning record (9-8) after starting the season just 3-6.

Jordan McPherson, the Miami Herald’s Marlins beat writer, breaks down the busy week on the latest episode of Fish Bytes and explains how it can set the stage for what’s next. He also takes time at the end of the episode to break down the latest Marlins prospect news and developments.
