The Miami Marlins were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-7 at loanDepot park on Wednesday. The Marlins extended their losing streak to a season-high four games and will begin a seven-game road versus the San Diego Padres and Diamondbacks starting on Thursday.
Miami(12-12) jumped on Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner in the bottom of the first. Jon Berti led off and cracked a solo homer to left field on a 2-0 pitch. It was Berti's first home run since last season on June 26.
Bumgarner was tossed from the contest after the end of the first inning concluded. It was the second of his major league baseball career that he was ejected.
It became 3-0 for the Fish in the second inning. Bryan De La Cruz hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly into right field and Brian Anderson crossed the plate. Payton Henry followed with an RBI-single to right and Jazz Chisholm Jr. scored.
Arizona(13-13) rocketed back with five runs in the top of the fourth against Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez to take a 5-3 lead. Sergio Alcantara tripled down the right-field line for Cooper Hummel and Ketel Marte to score. Geraldo Perdomo lined a base hit into right field and Alcantara reached home. Two batters later, Daulton Varsho hammered a two-run homer to right-center field on the first pitch.
The Diamondbacks expanded their lead to 6-3 in the top of the sixth. Marte scored on an Alcantara base hit to right-center field and a fielding error by De La Cruz.
The Marlins picked up back-to-back home runs during the seventh inning and trailed 6-5. Berti got his second solo homer of the contest, this time on the first pitch over the left-field fence. Jesus Aguilar then crushed a solo home run to left field on 0-1 count.
Miami retook the lead 7-6 in the bottom of the eighth. De La Cruz drove in Anderson with a single up the middle. Chisolm would later score on a wild pitch.
The Dbacks moved in front 8-7 in the ninth inning. Palm Beach Gardens High School grad Pavin Smith powered a two-run homer to center field on a 2-2 pitch with Varsho aboard.
