Marlins Outmatched by Nationals Despite Late Rally at loanDepot park
The Miami Marlins, now with a 6-22 record, faced off against the Washington Nationals who improved to 12-14 after the latest game. The final score read 11-4 in favor of the visiting team.
The Marlins started strong with an early lead in the first inning, but it was not indicative of their overall performance. Despite out-hitting their opponents with a total of 13 hits compared to the Nationals' 11, they were unable to capitalize on these opportunities as effectively. The home team's batting average stood at .342 and they managed to get on base at a .375 clip, but left a significant number of players stranded on base – totaling nine for the game.
Edward Cabrera, donning jersey number 27 for the Marlins, was handed his first loss of the season after giving up six runs over just over four innings pitched. His earned run average inflated to double digits as a result of this outing. On defense, Miami committed three errors which contributed to two unearned runs for Washington. These mistakes proved costly and underscored some defensive vulnerabilities that need addressing.
On a brighter note for Miami fans looking for silver linings from this encounter: there was one stolen base attempt during the game and it was successful; showcasing potential in their baserunning game moving forward.
The bullpen also had its struggles; while they did strike out four batters across nearly five innings pitched, they allowed five runs (four earned) which only compounded problems initiated earlier in the game by starters.
