The Miami Marlins secured a 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, ending their four-game losing streak and avoiding a series sweep. Joe Mack, recently called up from the minors, scored the decisive run in the ninth inning due to a throwing error by Orioles’ third baseman Coby Mayo. Earlier, Pete Alonso tied the game for Baltimore with a single, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Calvin Faucher earned the win for Miami, while Liam Hicks contributed with a home run. The Orioles’ Cade Povich left the game with an injury after three innings. Otto Lopez extended his hitting streak to 10 games for the Marlins. The Orioles will next face the Athletics, while the Marlins continue their homestand against the Nationals.
