Game Updates
The Miami Marlins outlasted the Houston Astros in a back-and-forth 6-4 victory Wednesday afternoon, powered by a relentless offensive attack that saw Xavier Edwards lead the charge with a career-high four hits. Edwards, who went 4-for-5 with two runs scored, set the tone early as the Marlins peppered Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti for five runs in just 3.2 innings. Heriberto Hernandez delivered the decisive blow with a two-run homer in the fourth, while Graham Pauley added insurance with a solo shot in the sixth—his first long ball since joining the Marlins.
Houston’s Carlos Correa tried to keep his team afloat with a 3-for-5 performance, including a run-scoring double, but the Astros’ bullpen couldn’t contain Miami’s momentum. Marlins relievers Ronny Henriquez and Lake Bachar combined for two scoreless innings to seal the win, handing Houston its third straight loss. The victory snaps a four-game skid for Miami, who now look to build on this offensive breakthrough as they push for late-season relevance.
