The game unfolded at loanDepot park under partly cloudy skies, turning to light rain as the evening progressed. Despite challenging weather conditions and a spirited effort from the home team, the Marlins could not overcome their opponents. The Marlins managed to secure five hits throughout the game but were hampered by two errors on defense which contributed to their difficulties in mounting a comeback.

However, they did showcase some power hitting capabilities with two home runs contributing significantly to their total run count.

Pitching for Miami also had its moments of effectiveness mixed with challenges. The bullpen faced tough situations, ending up with an earned run average (ERA) of 11.25 over four innings pitched and allowing five runs during that span. The starting pitcher provided a more stable performance with an ERA of 1.8 across five innings pitched but ultimately did not receive enough run support for a win.

On defense, despite committing two errors which led to additional challenges on the field, there were bright spots including eight assists and two double plays executed by Marlins' fielders.

The Cleveland Guardians capitalized on their opportunities throughout nine innings by amassing ten hits and six runs against Miami's pitchers. Their scoring was spread across multiple innings including three crucial runs in the seventh inning that helped cement their lead.
