The key difference between the two weeks is that the Miami Marlins were much better as a team from the plate. Even with the improved performance by their batters, the pitching staff failed to live up to their end of the deal which cost them in the end.
Marlins hitters who flourished
The most impressive line from a Marlins batter belongs to J.T. Realmuto. Slashing .353/.421/.765 with a 1.186 OPS over five games. Tallying six hits in 17 at-bats with two walks. The most impressive aspect is that four of Realmuto’s six hits went for extra bases.
