Miami Marlins are on a roll in June, and their latest win is a testament to their resilience. The team improved to an MLB-best 13-4 in June with a 6-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday at loanDepot park. Max Meyer, the Marlins' right-hander, had an effective start, going five innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven. The Marlins' offense was quiet early, but they scored their first run on a bases-loaded walk in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. Heriberto Hernández highlighted the rally with a two-run home run in the fourth inning. The Marlins will go for the sweep on Father's Day at 1:40 p.m. ET, with right-hander Ryan Gusto set to take the mound. And with this win, the Marlins sit one game back of the final National League Wild Card spot. But the team's success is not just about their record - it's also about the individual achievements of their players. For example, Otto Lopez became the first player in Major League Baseball to record his 100th hit of the 2026 season. So the Marlins are looking to continue their winning streak and make a push for the playoffs. The team has won seven consecutive games at loanDepot park, tying the longest home winning streak in the ballpark's history. Closer Pete Fairbanks earned his second straight save of the series and the 101st of his Major League career. Liam Hicks was scratched from the game with what the team called 'low back tightness', and Manager Clayton McCullough said Hicks will undergo further testing, and the team expects to know more Sunday. The Marlins' next game is on Father's Day, and they are looking to make it a special day for their fans. With a win, they can move closer to the top of the National League standings and make a strong case for a playoff spot.
