Arizona DiamondbacksvsMiami Marlins
ARI 0/MIA 8
Things to say
Miami Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-0 at loanDepot park.
01
opener
Marlins shut out the Snakes 8-0 last night, never even close. Miami jumped on them early and the bullpen never had to sweat it. Arizona's bats just never showed up.
02
key player
Miami's staff was filthy — combined shutout, the starter got into his stuff and the pen slammed the door. Eight runs of support is borderline cruel.
03
hot take
D-backs are sliding fast. They're a game over .500 but the way they're swinging the bats right now, that doesn't last the week.
04
deep cut
Marlins are still under .500 at 33-35, but they're 8-0 angry in this one — that's their kind of game when they punch up against a contender.
05
exit
Anyway, see what they do tonight — Arizona can't afford to drop the series after getting blanked like that.
The recap
Marlins took the D-backs to the woodshed in Miami, 8-0, a flat-out laugher at loanDepot. Arizona's bats never got into anything, and you could feel it slipping by the middle innings when the manager went to the pen too early and Miami just kept piling on.
The Fish heart of the order did the damage, and whoever toed the rubber for Miami carved them up start to finish. Getaway-day shutout on the road, ugly look for a club that was just over .500 walking in.
