Throughout the game, the Marlins showcased resilience and determination. Their hitting statistics reveal a team that struggled to capitalize fully on their opportunities but managed to put up a fight until the last inning. With an overall batting average of .242 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .306 for this game, it's clear that getting players on base wasn't their main issue; rather, bringing them home was where challenges arose.


The Marlins' performance was highlighted by two home runs contributing to their total run tally. Despite these efforts and having runners in scoring position five times throughout the game, they were unable to convert these opportunities into more runs, as evidenced by their zero hit rate with runners in scoring position (RISP). Additionally, they left seven teammates stranded on base over nine innings.

On defense and pitching fronts, Miami showed competence and skill. Their fielding was flawless with an impressive fielding percentage of 1.0 across all positions – no errors were recorded during this match-up against New York. However, despite strong defensive play overall including two double plays executed perfectly by Miami's infielders - which usually helps mitigate scoring threats from opponents - it wasn't enough to secure a win.


The bullpen had its struggles particularly highlighted by Tanner Scott who suffered both a loss and his second blown save of the season after giving up three earned runs during his time on mound which ultimately decided outcome for both teams in late innings.
