"If Tuesday was Edward Cabrera's final time pitching for the Miami Marlins, he made an unforgettable last impression. It wasn't just his performance against the Padres in the 4-3 win at loanDepot park, which undoubtedly boosted his trade value before the July 31 deadline and eased teams' possible concerns about his elbow. It was also Cabrera's final play before exiting - a headsy, athletic move that preserved the Marlins' fragile one-run lead in the sixth inning."
"With one out, the 6-foot-5 right-hander charged Xander Bogaerts' soft grounder, lunged, barehanded the ball, and in one fluid motion flipped it to catcher Agustín Ramírez, who tagged out former Marlin Luis Arráez sliding into home. "I'm always aggressive for any situation that presents," Cabrera said via team interpreter Luis Dorante Jr. "Once you see the ball, you just start running to make the play. It's just something that comes out naturally.""
Edward Cabrera pitched for the Miami Marlins and delivered a performance that boosted his trade value and eased elbow concerns. He made an athletic defensive play in the sixth inning, charging a soft grounder, barehanding the ball and flipping to catcher Agustín Ramírez to tag out Luis Arráez at home. Cabrera exited after that inning and Cade Gibson relieved him. The Marlins extended the lead in the sixth and eighth with a Heriberto Hernández single and a Javier Sanoja RBI triple. Jackson Merrill added a two-run double in the ninth, and reliever Ronny Henriquez retired the final three batters to secure the 4-3 win.
