Adam Mazur Makes Debut but Phillies Upper Hand the Marlins

MIAMI, FL – The Marlins snapped their five-game home losing streak yesterday night when they unloaded hit after hit. Today’s game was the polar opposite, as they failed to contribute enough on offense. For Philadelphia, once they started scoring, they left a mark in this game for good. Adam Mazur made his debut with the ball club today, but the Phillies were able to get the upper hand over the Marlins, 4-2.

Mazur loses in his debut

With Max Meyer still dealing with a left hip impingement, the Marlins recalled Adam Mazur from Triple-A today.

In terms of innings pitched, the Marlins probably got what they expected from Mazur. One thing they will definitely want to see more of in his next start is better pitch control.

The game was pretty much decided in the fourth inning. There was a sequence of pitch selections that Adam Mazur would take back if he wanted to. With Alec Bohm on first, Mazur threw a wild pitch, advancing him to second. He was able to maintain an eight-pitch battle with Max Kepler. However, each ball that he threw was well off the plate.

Up next came J.T. Realmuto, and he drove in the first run of the game. After that, Bryson Scott stepped up and swung the first pitch he saw into the center field turf. Three runs came in.

Another relatively quiet night on offense until the 9th

The Marlins had nothing going their way in this game. They would put the ball in play many times throughout the game, but the Phillies defenders were there on time to get the out.

Offensively, Connor Norby’s home run was the main climax of the game for the Fish. It was his first since May 24th. The ball traveled 415 feet, and his exit velocity was 107.2 mph.

Coming into the final inning of play, the Marlins had just four hits in the game. They did make the 9th inning interesting. Heriberto Hernandez started it off with a double. Then came along Dane Myers, and he got a base hit to make it a 4-2 game.

Jack Winkler was able to knock down a base hit afterward. Down to his last strike, Nick Fortes smacked a high fly ball to right field that almost surely looked like it was going out. What looked like a walk-off landed inside the glove of Nick Castellanos right on time as he crashed into the wall.

The Marlins finished the night leaving seven runners on base. A key player for the club was Eric Wagaman, who had a multi-hit game.

On deck

Tomorrow will be the last game of a rare four-game series. Cristopher Sanchez (5-2, 3.05 ERA, 88 K) will take the hill for the Phillies, while Edward Cabrera (2-2, 4.10 ERA, 58 K) is the starter for the Marlins.
