The Miami Marlins are officially hot. For the fourth straight game, the Fish found a way to win, riding a wave of power to a 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night. The win pushes the Marlins to 50-53, and with the bats coming alive, there's a palpable energy building around this team as they look to make a second-half push.
Heriberto Hernandez delivered the knockout blow with a decisive three-run homer in the fifth inning, his fourth of the season, to give Miami a 5-3 lead.
Saturday's victory was a showcase of timely power. While the Brewers' young star Jackson Chourio extended his impressive hitting streak to 19 games, the Marlins' offense had the final say. The game's turning point came in the fifth inning when Heriberto Hernandez launched a three-run shot to put Miami ahead for good. But he wasn't alone in the long-ball department. Catcher Agustín Ramírez and outfielder Dane Myers, who had a solid 2-for-4 night with a stolen base, also went deep. Javier Sanoja chipped in with a key RBI double, rounding out a relentless offensive attack. On the mound, Janson Junk battled through five innings, and Tyler Phillips was masterful in relief, earning his first career save with four stellar innings of one-run ball.
The good news isn't just coming from the big-league club. Down on the farm, the future of the Marlins' rotation put on a clinic. Top prospects Thomas White and Robby Snelling had career days, striking out 12 and 11 batters, respectively, in their starts. It's a thrilling sign of the high-end talent brewing in the system. But the more immediate future rests on the shoulders of Eury Pérez, who gets the ball in Sunday's series finale. The Marlins have announced their young ace (3-3, 3.23 ERA) will face the Brewers' formidable Brandon Woodruff (2-0, 1.65 ERA) with a chance to secure a massive series sweep.
Four wins in a row have injected a serious dose of optimism into the Marlins' season. Now, with a chance to sweep the Brewers and climb closer to that .500 mark, all eyes turn to Eury Pérez. Can the young phenom outduel a veteran like Woodruff and keep the winning streak alive? A victory on Sunday wouldn't just be another win; it would be a statement. Get ready, Marlins fans, this is a finale you won't want to miss.
