Already up 3-1 in the third inning, the Diamondbacks looked to be on the verge of breaking Monday’s game wide open. But Dan Straily buckled down from there and the Marlins spoiled Shelby Miller’s return from Tommy John surgery with a well-rounded offensive attack.
Sweet revenge after being swept in the desert when these teams previously met. Even better, star catcher J.T. Realmuto got a full night off.
This shouldn’t be too surprising considering how productive Miami’s bats have been throughout June.
The Marlins continue to discuss the best course of treatment, but either way, Caleb Smith will be sidelined several months with a severe lat strain.
