In an exciting encounter, the Miami Marlins achieved a resounding victory over the New York Yankees with a final score of 7-3, thus completing their first historic sweep against the Yankees in a series of three or more games.
The outfielder Kyle Stowers was the key figure in the game, hitting a three-run home run that boosted the Marlins’ offense.
With this victory, the Marlins (55-55) reach the break-even point in the season for the first time since April 15, when the team had an 8-8 record. Since June 13, the team has shown exceptional performance, with a 30-14 record. This mark equals that of the 2003 team, which achieved the most wins in a 44-game span in franchise history.
Stowers extended the lead to 6-1 by connecting on an 0-2 pitch from reliever Brent Headrick, who entered the game in the fourth inning after starter Luis Gil was removed after 3 1/3 innings in his season debut.
Gil, who was the American League Rookie of the Year, struck out three batters, but allowed five runs and five hits, as well as giving up four walks in his return from injury.
The Marlins’ starting pitcher, Edward Cabrera (5-5), had an outstanding performance, pitching six innings, allowing only two hits, with seven strikeouts and one walk. The only blemish on his performance was a home run by Trent Grisham.
Jakob Marsee, the Miami rookie, who debuted in the league on Friday, had an outstanding performance by batting 4-2, missing a single to complete the cycle.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a two-run homer that brought New York closer to 6-3 in the seventh inning. Marsee responded with a run-scoring triple in the bottom of the same inning, extending the lead to four runs.
Xavier Edwards contributed with two hits, including a run-producing single. Troy Johnston hit a double that also drove in a run.
