The Miami Marlins, with a record of 3-14, faced off against the San Francisco Giants, who came into the game with a 7-10 record. The contest concluded with the Giants securing a narrow 4-3 victory over the Marlins.
The Marlins showcased resilience throughout the game, out-hitting their opponents with a total of 10 hits to the Giants' 8.

The home team's batting average stood at .278 and they managed an on-base percentage of .297. Their slugging percentage was recorded at .389 for this encounter.
Miami's hitters had nine opportunities with runners in scoring position but were only able to capitalize twice.
