Overview

  • Miami completed its first three-game series sweep of the Yankees with a 7-3 win at LoanDepot Park on August 3.
  • With the Yankees down to their final three outs, the Marlins DJ blasted the Boston Red Sox anthem 'Sweet Caroline' in a pointed jab.
  • The sweep marked Miami’s sixth straight series victory and capped a turnaround from a 25-41 start to the season.
  • The Marlins improved to 55-55, putting them within 5.5 games of an NL wild-card spot for the first time since April.
  • New York fell to third in the AL East behind the Red Sox despite leading the league in run differential, and manager Aaron Boone called it 'gut-check time.'
