The Marlins are riding a season-high five-game winning streak after Sunday’s 4-1 final. It’s been the perfect storm of maturing rookies and veterans performing with some urgency in advance of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
Uh...scratch that. Kyle Barraclough and Don Mattingly combined to choke away a golden opportunity to sweep their first series of the 2018 season on Sunday afternoon. The Marlins had to settle for winning two of three from the Rays after Barraclough served up a two-out, walk-off grand slam to pinch-hitter Daniel Robertson. Final score: 6-4.
- Trevor Richards: 6.
