Marlins unable to spoil Luis Arraez's homecoming in 6-2 loss to the San Diego Padres
Briefly

I didn't want to sleep last night. I was tired, but I didn't want to sleep because [LoanDepot] Park is beautiful. A lot of fans supported me. There's a lot of community, [particularly] Latin community here and I hope they come in to watch the game.
During his short stint in Miami, the Venezuelan product won his second batting title, became the first Marlins player to hit for the cycle, represented his country at the World Baseball Classic, and played a significant role in clinching an unlikely postseason berth for the Marlins.
The newly minted Marlins executive made the difficult choice to trade the 27-year old infielder to the San Diego Padres (65-52) in early May in exchange for four prospects: pitcher Wook-suk Go, first baseman Nathan Martorella, outfielder Jakob Marsee and outfielder Dillon Head.
