Miami has lost six of nine and three straight after getting swept in a three-game series with Arizona. The Marlins were outscored 22-10, and they are allowing 5.17 runs per game this season. Sandy Alcantara has given up eight runs in 15 1/3 innings in 2025. Miami hitters are 11-for-39 with only two extra-base hits against Zack Wheeler.
