Marlins continue longshot playoff bid with sixth win in a row
"Miami (76-80) went ahead to stay in the fourth when Lopez had an RBI double and scored on a single by Heriberto Hernández off Merrill Kelly (12-9). Back-to-back doubles by Jakob Marsee and Agustín Ramírez made it 3-0 in the fifth. Lake Bachar (8-2) worked two innings for the win after taking over for 22-year-old starter Eury Pérez, who set a season high by striking out nine in four scoreless innings."
"After Texas scored twice in the sixth to pull to 3-2, Graham Pauley led off the Marlins seventh with a triple to deep center field and No. 9 batter Brian Navarreto followed with a sacrifice fly to the same area for a 4-2 lead. Miami has won 10 of its last 11 games and its 76 total wins are already 14 more than last season."
Otto Lopez recorded three hits, drove in a run and scored another as the Miami Marlins defeated the Texas Rangers 4-2, extending Miami's winning streak to six games. Wyatt Langford hit his 22nd homer for Texas during a seven-game losing streak for the Rangers. Miami scored on an RBI double by Lopez and a Heriberto Hernández single, then added runs on back-to-back doubles by Jakob Marsee and Agustín Ramírez. Eury Pérez struck out nine across four scoreless innings before Lake Bachar secured the victory, and George Soriano recorded his first save. Both teams have days off before their next games.
