Sanchez homers as Miami Marlins hold off Washington Nationals 4-3 to clinch series victory
Jesús Sánchez homered in the seventh inning, and the Miami Marlins held off the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Saturday. Miami clinched its sixth series victory of the season and first since taking two of three from the Los Angeles Angels on May 23-25. The Marlins have won consecutive games for the first time since May 24-25. Washington dropped its seventh in a row, matching a May 6-13 skid for its longest of the season. The Nationals scored two runs in the ninth off Anthony Bender — one on a wild pitch, another on a misplayed grounder — and had the bases loaded with none out. But Bender got Amed Rosario to fly out to shallow left, and Calvin Faucher earned his seventh save when he induced James Wood to pop up to shortstop. The Marlins used three pitchers to cover the first 2 1/3 innings before giving way to Janson Junk (1-0). The right-hander allowed only two baserunners in 5 2/3 shutout innings, the longest outing of his career. He earned his second career victory and first since July 27, 2022, when he was with the Angels. Miami managed only a run on Liam Hicks' third-inning RBI single in the first five innings against Washington starter Trevor Williams (3-8). Hicks and Otto Lopez opened the sixth with singles, and two batters later Eric Wagaman poked a single to right off reliever Brad Lord to give the Marlins a 2-1 lead. Sánchez's one-out shot to right against Lord in the seventh was his sixth home run of the season. Miami added another run in the eighth when Nationals second baseman Luis García Jr. dropped Javier Sanoja's two-out pop up, allowing Kyle Stowers to score. The Nationals opened the scoring with Riley Adams' bases-loaded walk in the second. Key moment Lopez corralled the final out despite having teammates closing in on him. Key stat The Nationals are averaging 2.5 runs while going 2-10 in June and have scored more than three runs only twice this month. Up next Miami RHP Eury Perez (0-1, 12.00) faces Washington LHP MacKenzie Gore (3-5, 2.88 ERA), who is 2-2 with a 2.97 ERA in five career starts against the Marlins, as the three-game series concludes Sunday.

Marlins hold on to beat the Pirates
Sandy Alcantara struck out six in six shutout innings, and the Miami Marlins edged the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Tuesday night. Alcantara (3-7) allowed three hits and walked one in his first win since April 12. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner went 0-7 with a 9.07 ERA in his previous nine starts. Calvin Faucher worked around a two-on, no-out jam in the ninth for his fifth save as the Marlins won for just the second time in nine games. Nick Fortes hit his second homer of the season for Miami, a two-run shot off Mitch Keller (1-9) in the third. Eric Wagaman added two hits for the Marlins, including an RBI single in the fourth. Ke'Bryan Hayes and Oneil Cruz homered against Miami reliever Ronny Henriquez to get the Pirates within one but it wasn't enough as Pittsburgh's season-high four-game win streak came to an end. Keller allowed eight hits in six innings. The veteran right-hander is winless since beating the Marlins in his first start of the season on March 28. The Pirates fell to 15-15 since Don Kelly replaced Derek Shelton as manager in early May. Faucher appeared wobbly after hitting Spencer Horwitz and giving up a single to Nick Gonzales to start the ninth. The Marlins caught a break, however, when pinch-runner Jared Triolo stumbled on Gonzales' hit to right field, preventing him from attempting to head to third. Triolo ended the game on third base as the tying run. 2.28 — The run support Keller has received this season, one of the main reasons he is 1-9 despite a respectable 4.15 ERA. The series wraps up with a matinee on Wednesday. Cal Quantrill (3-6, 5.63 ERA) starts for Miami against Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter (4-3, 3.49 ERA).
