Playing at Fenway Park for the first time as a major leaguer, minutes away from where he spent most of childhood, Isan Díaz came to the plate Friday night in the top of the sixth inning against Adam Ottavino. With the bases loaded, two outs and the Marlins trailing 5-2, he represented the potential go-ahead run.
Alas, Díaz struck out on three consecutive sliders to end the threat. It would prove to be Miami’s last scoring opportunity as the persistent Boston rain made the field unusable. This was one of six games around Major League Baseball that had to be shortened or postponed due to the weather.
