The Marlins' bats were alive and well during this contest, amassing a total of 11 hits. The highlight came in an explosive third inning where Miami's lineup erupted for seven runs, effectively setting the pace for what would be a one-sided affair. This burst of scoring underscored Miami's knack for seizing opportunities and turning them into tangible results on the scoreboard.


Connor Norby emerged as a standout player for Miami, boasting an exceptional batting average of .500 that included two home runs and four runs batted in (RBIs). His slugging percentage skyrocketed to an impressive 2.0, marking him as a key contributor to his team's dominant performance. Jesús Sánchez also shone brightly with his consistent ability to reach base, evidenced by his .500 batting average and remarkable .75 on-base percentage.

On the defensive end, Edward Cabrera turned in a stellar pitching performance that kept Philadelphia's hitters at bay throughout seven innings of play. With an earned run average (ERA) holding steady at 0.0 and a walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) ratio of just over half-a-run (.5714), Cabrera was nothing short of dominant. His strikeout rate per nine innings stood at nearly eight (7.713), further highlighting his control and effectiveness against a formidable Phillies lineup.


Philadelphia struggled to find their rhythm against Miami's pitchers, managing only five hits throughout the game and scoring their solitary run in the ninth inning—a stark indicator of how both teams fared during this matchup.
