Let’s get this out of the way for those who came here for it; the Marlins dropped the season and series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1. For the year, Miami goes winless in 4 matchups against the 2020 AL champs.
A welcome sight at loanDepot Park Wednesday though, was the return of Trevor Rogers.
In his first start since July 25th, Rogers reminded many why he finished 2nd in NL Rookie of the Year voting last season, striking 5 and limiting Tampa to just 1 run over 6 innings. Walking just 1, Rogers threw 84 pitches, finishing with his second-best game score of the season, 62.
