Cool

last night's loss

The indicators are pointing down. Losing by 7 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Compounding things, averaging only 3.4 runs a game. The offense is the weak link.

Marlins News

Eury Pérez experienced a rough outing in his last start against the Nationals, where he struggled with command and allowed five runs in a single inning, throwing eight consecutive balls at one point. This hiccup highlights the inconsistency that has plagued the Marlins, who are hovering around .500 with a record of 68-66 and have averaged a mere 3.3 runs per game over the past week. While the pitching staff has managed a respectable 3.0 runs allowed per game, the lack of offensive firepower is evident, and it raises questions about the lineup's ability to support their effort on the mound. As the Marlins gear up for a crucial stretch run, they need to find a way to ignite their bats if they hope to make a push for the postseason.

WASHINGTON -- Marlins right-hander Eury Pérez has been so sharp recently that even after throwing eight straight balls to begin the third inning Friday night, you kind of liked his chances. But all good things must come to an end.
