The Miami Marlins, whose 2021 season got off to a worrisome 1-6 start, entered Sunday’s series finale against the San Francisco Giants hoping to be over .500 for the first time this season, one game out of 1st in the NL East. A win Sunday would, too, have given the Marlins their first series sweep of the season.
Starter Pablo López danced around some traffic on the base paths in the first two innings before allowing an Alex Dickerson RBI-single with 2 outs in the third. The run would be unearned, however, due to an error charged to first baseman Jesús Aguilar.
