First Inning


The opening inning saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm. The Marlins were unable to capitalize on any opportunities, leaving no hits or runs on the board. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays managed one hit but failed to convert it into a run.


Third Inning


By the third inning, Miami began showing signs of life when they scored their first run thanks to some strategic hitting that resulted in three hits during this period. Xavier Edwards played a crucial role by maintaining composure and contributing defensively without errors.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning was pivotal for Miami as they orchestrated an impressive rally that would ultimately define the game’s outcome. Scoring three runs off three hits, including contributions from Otto Lopez and Derek Hill who maintained high fielding percentages in previous games, this surge put them ahead decisively.


Seventh Inning


Toronto responded fiercely in the seventh inning with three runs from two hits which momentarily threatened Miami's lead. However, strong pitching performances from Ronny Henriquez and Lake Bachar helped contain further damage by limiting Toronto's offensive capabilities effectively during critical moments.


Final Innings


In subsequent innings, both teams tightened up defensively; however, it was Miami’s earlier efforts that secured their advantage until closing time at loanDepot Park. Despite Toronto's attempts to claw back into contention through aggressive plays late in-game – notably scoring no additional points after seventh – they couldn’t overcome what had become insurmountable odds set forth by those decisive middle innings led primarily by Marlins' tactical prowess shown throughout key segments such as fifth where momentum shifted dramatically towards home side favorably impacting overall dynamics witnessed across entire match duration itself!
