Despite seeing their second-longest win streak of the season come to a halt, the four consecutive wins coming into Sunday — and the 21-11 record since June 13 — breathed life into a Marlins’ organization that feels they have enough to make a run in the second half of the season.
The rest of the Royals’ lineup remained silent as the Marlins earned a series victory with a 3-1 win at LoanDepot Park. The Royals had just three hits. Bobby Witt Jr. went hitless and failed to extend his franchise-record road hitting streak to 28 games. Vinnie Pasquantino struck out twice.
Otto López hit a go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning and the Miami Marlins beat the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Saturday. Xavier Edwards tripled and doubled for the Marlins, who won their fourth straight and are 21-10 since June 13.
