Miami Marlins drop another game as offense stays silent again

Miami Marlins fall to third straight loss as offense stalls again

The Miami Marlins lost 5-2 to the Cleveland Guardians on July 12, their third straight defeat as their bats stayed quiet for a second straight game.

What happened in Miami’s latest defeat?

Miami managed just two runs against Cleveland despite a solid start from Sandy Alcantara, the right-hander allowing two earned runs over six innings. The Marlins’ offense, which had managed only four hits, managed just two runs in the series finale at LoanDepot Park.

Why it matters for Miami Marlins

With a 52-45 record, Miami sits sixth in the National League and is now on a three-game losing streak. The lack of run support has become a recurring issue, with the team scoring two or fewer runs in four of their last five games.

What comes next for the Fish?

Miami wraps up the Guardians series with a 1-2 record and heads to Cincinnati for a four-game set against the Reds starting July 15. The Marlins need to rediscover their run production to snap this slump and avoid further damage in the NL wild-card race.
