Marlins Extend Winning Streak to 7 Games
The Miami Marlins have won their seventh consecutive game, completing a three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 6-4 victory on Sunday.
Game Summary
Otto Lopez hit a go-ahead, two-run single, and Kyle Stowers added a three-run double during an eighth-inning rally. The Diamondbacks took a 2-1 lead into the eighth inning but were unable to hold on. Lefty Jalen Beeks walked the bases loaded with two outs, and Lopez hit a line drive into left that scored Liam Hicks and Dane Myers for a 3-2 lead.
Turning Point
Agustin Ramirez was intentionally walked to load the bases again, and Stowers hit a bases-clearing double to push the advantage to 6-2. The Diamondbacks’ pitchers walked 10 batters, and the team dropped its fourth straight game to fall below .500 at 41-42.
Pitching Performance
D-backs lefty Eduardo Rodríguez had another good outing, giving up one run on four hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five and had a 1.98 ERA over 27 1/3 innings in June. Miami’s Cal Quantrill gave up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings, striking out five. Lake Bachar pitched two scoreless innings of relief, and Ronny Henriquez handled the ninth for his third save.
Key Moments
Ketel Marte’s solo homer in the third put the D-backs up 2-1. It was his 17th homer of the season. The D-backs cut it to 6-4 in the bottom of the eighth, but Calvin Faucher struck out Jake McCarthy with runners on first and second to end the threat.
Key Stat
Arizona’s bullpen is one of the worst in baseball, with a 5.22 ERA coming into Sunday’s game.
Up Next
The Marlins return home to face the Minnesota Twins and RHP Joe Ryan on Tuesday. The D-backs continue their homestand on Monday when RHP Ryne Nelson takes the mound against the San Francisco Giants and RHP Logan Webb.
Conclusion
The Marlins’ winning streak continues, and they look to build on their momentum as they head back home. The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, will try to bounce back from their four-game losing streak.
