Marlins Sweep Giants to Cap 14-4 June and Eight-Game Home Streak

The surge has pushed Miami into Wild Card range with pitching depth and player health set to decide whether the run can continue.

Overview

  • The Marlins improved to 40-38 after sweeping the San Francisco Giants, completing an MLB-best 14-4 stretch in June and extending an eight-game winning streak at loanDepot Park.
  • Miami now ranks tied for the most home wins in MLB with 26, a run that has moved the club above .500 and into close proximity of the National League Wild Card race.
  • Kyle Stowers supplied power in the finale with a leadoff homer and three homers in his last four games, while starter Ryan Gusto struck out six and allowed one run over 4 1/3 innings.
  • Lake Bachar recorded his first save of the season as multiple relievers covered innings because primary late-inning arms had pitched on consecutive days.
  • Reports that the streak set a loanDepot Park record are disputed and a single outlet has reported slugger Liam Hicks is headed to the injured list, a claim the club has not broadly confirmed; Miami opens a home series with the Texas Rangers on Monday.
