Marlins Silence Brewers' Bats in Miami: Luzardo's Masterclass Seals 1-0 Victory

The Miami Marlins improved their record to 17-34 with a narrow 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, who now stand at 28-21. The game, held at loanDepot Park, saw the Marlins capitalize on an early scoring opportunity while their pitching staff delivered a stellar performance to keep the Brewers off the scoreboard.

The Marlins struck early in the first inning when Jesús Luzardo's single brought home a run. This proved to be the only score of the game. Luzardo not only contributed offensively but also dominated on the mound, pitching eight innings and allowing just three hits while striking out four batters. His performance earned him his second win of the season.


Miami's bullpen maintained this momentum as Tanner Scott came in for relief and secured his sixth save of the season by closing out a scoreless ninth inning. The Marlins' defense was flawless throughout, committing no errors and making crucial plays to support their pitchers.

Offensively, Miami managed four hits overall but struggled to build on their early lead. They left six runners on base and had difficulty converting opportunities with runners in scoring position.


On Milwaukee's side, Freddy Peralta took his third loss despite delivering a solid performance. He pitched seven innings, giving up just one run on four hits while striking out seven batters. However, Milwaukee’s offense could not provide any support for Peralta as they were held hitless through several key innings by Miami’s pitching staff.

Milwaukee managed only four hits throughout the game and failed to capitalize on any scoring opportunities presented by Miami’s pitchers. Their best chance came in the second inning when they recorded two hits but were unable to bring any runs home.


The weather conditions were partly cloudy with temperatures hovering around 82 degrees Fahrenheit during most of this tightly contested match-up attended by 7,792 fans at loanDepot Park.
