Overview

• The eight-game run is the Marlins’ longest since their 2012 relocation and leaves them one win short of the nine-game franchise record set in 2008.
• Cabrera’s start was his season’s longest outing, with only two hits allowed, one walk and six strikeouts across 93 pitches.
• Kyle Stowers opened the scoring with his 14th home run in the second inning after Minnesota successfully challenged an initial hit-by-pitch call.
• Jesus Sánchez’s two-out triple in the eighth led to Nick Fortes’s insurance RBI single before Anthony Bender and Ronny Henriquez combined for three perfect relief innings.
• Minnesota’s Joe Ryan turned in seven strong innings with one earned run allowed but suffered a tough-luck loss despite retiring 13 consecutive batters at one stretch.
