MIAMI (AP) --- Otto Lopez hit a two-run triple to back a strong five-inning
outing by Janson Junk and the Miami Marlins beat the Seattle Mariners 8-4 on
Thursday night to extend their winning streak to six.
Griffin Conine homered to help Miami complete a three-game sweep.
The Marlins are 52-42 and 10 games above .500 for the first time since
completing a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals on June 18, 2023.
Lopez, whose .345 average leads the majors, went 1 for 3 and walked twice. He
has a club-record 127 hits before the All-Star break --- one more than Luis
Arraez had in 2023.
Junk (4-5) allowed two runs --- one earned --- on three hits in his first start
since May 25 after landing on the injured list with right shin bone
inflammation. He struck out five and walked four.
Conine hit the first pitch from Bryce Miller (4-3) in the bottom of the second
inning to tie it 1-1. Jakob Marsee singled and scored on a two-out double by
Liam Hicks for a 2-1 lead.
Lopez's triple came in a four-run fourth, capped by Kyle Stowers' RBI single
for a 6-1 lead.
Josh Naylor singled in the second and stole two bases, scoring Seattle's first
run when Junk threw wide at third base after Naylor took off early. Randy
Arozarena hit his 10th homer to cut it to 6-2 in the fifth. Dominic Canzone hit
his 15th homer --- a two-run shot off William Kempner in the eighth.
Miller gave up six runs --- four earned --- on nine hits in five innings with
four walks. He issued five walks through his first nine starts and had faced 96
hitters in a row without issuing one before Lopez walked in the first.
Up next Mariners RHP Luis Castillo (3-7, 4.79 ERA) starts Friday in Florida opposite Rays RHP Nick Martinez (7-2, 2.61). Marlins RHP Sandy Alcantara (10-4, 4.00) starts Friday at home against Guardians LHP Parker Messick (7-5, 2.80). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
