Diamondbacks vs Marlins: How to Watch Live, Probable Pitchers & Score Updates for Tonight’s Showdown

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins used a late offensive surge to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-6 at loanDepot park on Tuesday night, opening their three-game set with style and extending their hot streak to six wins in seven games. Otto Lopez ignited the decisive four-run eighth inning, lining a tiebreaking RBI single to right that snapped a 6-6 deadlock. Javier Sanoja followed with a two-run knock, and speedster Esteury Ruiz capped the rally with another run-scoring single as 8,372 South Florida fans roared. Catcher Joe Mack, just 22 years and 164 days old, went 4-for-4 with three runs to become the youngest backstop in franchise history with a four-hit game. Mack also nabbed his 10th would-be base-stealer of the season, matching an MLB-leading mark in only his 28th appearance. Max Meyer kept Miami in control early, scattering seven hits over 5 ⅓ innings and stretching his record season-opening unbeaten streak to 14 starts. The right-hander’s run is the longest in the majors since Tony Gonsolin’s 17-game burst with the Dodgers in 2022. Arizona clawed back from a 6-2 hole behind long balls from Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno plus a two-run single from Ketel Marte that tied it in the top of the eighth. But reliever Brandyn Garcia couldn’t hold the line, absorbing the loss after yielding four runs on two hits and a pair of walks without recording an out. Pete Fairbanks slammed the door with a one-hit, two-strikeout ninth to earn his first save, rewarding Miami’s lineup for a night that featured six doubles—matching Houston for the most six-double games (four) in MLB this season. With the victory, the Marlins moved to 32-35, trimming their NL East deficit while the Diamondbacks fell to 34-32, 8.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West race. Up next: Arizona sends right-hander Ryne Nelson (2-4, 4.60 ERA) to the mound opposite Miami rookie Ryan Gusto (0-1, 10.80 ERA) in Wednesday’s Game 2. First pitch is slated for 6:40 p.m. ET as the D-backs look to even the “Diamondbacks vs Marlins” series and the Marlins eye another boost to their postseason push.
