StatPro MLB Beat Reporter
What a time to be a Marlins fan! Miami is riding high on a four-game winning streak and has already clinched its sixth consecutive series victory by taking the first two from the New York Yankees. After rookie Agustín Ramírez's two solo shots and another gem from Eury Pérez sealed a 2-0 win Saturday, the Fish are looking for the sweep today at loanDepot park.
The Marlins are 29-14 since June 13, transforming their season and climbing back toward .500.
You can't talk about this incredible run without tipping your cap to first-year manager Clayton McCullough. Since taking over for Skip Schumaker, McCullough has instilled a winning culture that's paying dividends. The team's 29-14 record since mid-June is one of the best in baseball, and winning six straight series, including this one against the mighty Yankees, proves this is no fluke. The energy is different, the execution is sharp, and the results speak for themselves.
All eyes are on today's finale as Edward Cabrera (4-5, 3.35 ERA) takes the mound. Cabrera has been a steady presence in the rotation, and the Marlins will need another strong outing from him to complete the sweep. He'll face off against the Yankees' Luis Gil, who is making his 2025 season debut after a long recovery from a lat strain. The Marlins have the momentum, the home-field advantage, and a golden opportunity to send the Bronx Bombers packing with a big 'L'.
While the big-league club is firing on all cylinders, the front office has been busy securing the future. The organization officially signed all 21 of its 2025 draft picks, locking up top selection SS Aiva Arquette with a full slot value deal worth over $7.1 million. This commitment, which used the entire $15.1 million bonus pool, follows a trade deadline where the Marlins added intriguing prospects like infielder Chase Jaworsky and outfielder Matthew Etzel. The message is clear: winning now is great, but building a perennial contender is the ultimate goal.
And speaking of the future, the talent is already making noise down on the farm. No. 5 prospect Andrew Salas launched his second home run of the season for the Single-A Jupiter Hammerheads today. It’s always exciting to see the next wave of talent developing, and Salas's two-run shot is another promising sign for the depth of the Marlins' system.
A sweep of the Yankees would be the perfect exclamation point on this incredible stretch of baseball. With a confident big-league squad led by Clayton McCullough and a farm system freshly stocked with high-end talent, the present is thrilling and the future is blindingly bright. This isn't just a hot streak; it feels like the start of something special in Miami.
