First Inning
The opening inning set the tone for what would be a defensive showcase by both teams. The Marlins' starting pitcher demonstrated control and precision, allowing only one hit while striking out two batters. Meanwhile, the Halos managed to keep the Fish off base entirely during their turn at bat.
Third Inning
The third inning saw Miami break through with their first run of the game. A well-timed hit by Jesús Sánchez allowed Otto Lopez to advance and ultimately score after Connor Norby followed up with another solid hit. This early lead gave Miami momentum and put pressure on Los Angeles's defense.
Fourth Inning
In the fourth inning, Derek Hill contributed significantly by driving in another run for Miami with a double that brought home Matt Mervis from second base. This increased their lead to 2-0 and further solidified their control over the game's pace.
Fifth Inning
Miami continued to capitalize on opportunities in the fifth inning when Javier Sanoja delivered an RBI single that extended their lead to three runs. Sanoja's performance was notable as he maintained an impressive batting average throughout his appearances.
Pitching Dominance
Throughout all nine innings, Miami's pitchers were relentless against Los Angeles hitters. Edward Cabrera led this effort with exceptional stats: maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of zero while achieving a strikeout rate (K/9) of nearly 16 per nine innings pitched—a testament to his effectiveness on mound duty today.
