Meyer Extends Unbeaten Start as Marlins Win Seventh Straight at Home

A dominant June run and Meyer's 8-0 record have pushed Miami above .500 and given the rotation a needed boost that could reshape roster choices.

Overview

  • Max Meyer improved to 8-0 after allowing two runs in five innings in Saturday’s 6-3 win over the San Francisco Giants and completed a perfect fifth to reach eight straight decisions won to begin the season.
  • The Marlins stretched their home winning streak to seven and improved to 39-38 overall thanks to a four-run fourth inning capped by Heriberto Hernández’s two-run homer.
  • Trevor McDonald was chased after three-plus innings when he allowed five runs, walked three and hit three batters, and Pete Fairbanks closed with a perfect ninth for his 11th save.
  • Otto López reached 100 hits for the majors with a fourth-inning single, and Miami’s 13-4 record in June has lifted the club above .500 as several injured players work through rehab assignments.
  • Meyer’s surge is notable because he returned from 2022 elbow surgery and has shown steady month-to-month ERA improvement this season, a development that eases pressure on a thin rotation and heavy bullpen usage.
