Marlins Outslug Brewers in a High-Scoring Affair at American Family Field
The Miami Marlins improved their season record to 39-66 after defeating the Milwaukee Brewers with a final score of 7-3. The Brewers, on the other hand, saw their record adjust to 59-45 following the game. The Marlins' offense was particularly effective, amassing 11 hits and committing no errors throughout the game.
The Marlins showcased their batting strength early on, with a notable performance in the second inning where they scored two runs off three hits. However, it was in the seventh inning that Miami truly broke away, scoring five runs from four hits to secure their lead. Overall, Miami's hitters maintained an impressive .324 batting average for the game and managed to get on base at a .41 rate.

Emmanuel Rivera also made significant contributions with his bat by hitting .500 and securing an OPS of 2.0 without recording any errors on defense.
On the pitching side for Miami, Bryan Hoeing earned a win thanks to his flawless relief appearance that included no earned runs and maintaining an ERA (Earned Run Average) of 0.0 across his outing. Calvin Faucher also contributed significantly from the bullpen by not allowing any earned runs and striking out batters at a rate of nine per nine innings pitched.
The Brewers managed eight hits but were only able to convert these into three runs during the fourth inning. Despite this effort, they couldn't overcome Miami's offensive onslaught or find answers against Miami's bullpen which showcased strong performances throughout.
