Throughout the game, the Marlins managed to accumulate seven hits but struggled to convert these opportunities into runs, scoring only once in the ninth inning. Despite their efforts at bat, which included three extra-base hits and two stolen bases without being caught - showcasing their speed on the bases - they could not overcome their opponents. The team's batting average was .212 for this game, with an on-base percentage of .278 and slugging percentage reaching .333.
