Miami Marlins experienced a setback, losing 2-1 to the San Diego Padres, yet felt positive about their performance. Starter Eury Pérez pitched five innings with only two earned runs. The bullpen contributed two scoreless innings. Kyle Stowers hit his 22nd home run, maintaining a strong offensive showing despite limited runs scored. Manager Clayton McCullough commended the team's offensive approach and expressed hope for future games, emphasizing the importance of quality at-bats in creating scoring opportunities.
Eury Pérez allowed only two earned runs in five innings pitched - both in the second inning. Josh Simpson and Tyler Phillips each tossed two shutout innings in relief.
Kyle Stowers swatted his 22nd home run of the season - an MLB-best 12th since June 22. He now has eight homers in July, putting him four shy of Giancarlo Stanton's club record set in 2017.
McCullough stated, 'I liked what we did offensively today. We scattered some hits. ... Our approach was very sound. Unfortunately, the [double-play] ball Gus hits to third was right on the screws.'
McCullough added, 'If we continue to take at-bats of that quality and that nature, that puts you in a good position to be able to create innings and score runs.'
