MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — New manager, same story for the Miami Marlins.
A.J. Pollock beat out a run-scoring infield hit with two out in the eighth inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks completed their first four-game sweep in seven seasons by beating the Marlins 7-6 on Thursday.
It’s the fifth four-game road sweep in Diamondbacks history.
The Marlins mishandled two sacrifice bunts, including one in the eighth, and fell to 0-7 on their homestand. The Marlins’ seven-game losing streak is their longest since they dropped eight straight in April 2014.
Dan Jennings fell to 0-4 since he replaced Mike Redmond as manager.
