The Miami Marlins have extended their winning streak to eight consecutive games, marking their longest run since 2008 and just one shy of the franchise record. The streak included a notable 8-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in 10 innings, highlighted by Agustín Ramírez's run-scoring single in the 10th inning and Heriberto Hernández's tying sacrifice fly in the ninth. The Marlins completed a three-game sweep against the Diamondbacks with a 6-4 win, featuring an eighth-inning rally with key hits from Otto Lopez and Kyle Stowers. Their eighth straight win came with a 2-0 shutout over the Minnesota Twins, led by Edward Cabrera's pitching and a home run from Kyle Stowers. Remarkably, the Marlins have won all eight games as underdogs, a feat not seen since 2011, and have matched the Atlanta Braves' record with a $67 million payroll while maintaining a similar record to the Braves' $210 million payroll. The team has also achieved nine straight road wins and won every game in a six-plus game road trip for the first time in franchise history. As of early July, the Marlins have won 10 of their last 12 games and are on track for a potential ninth consecutive victory, continuing their strong performance in the 2025 MLB season.
