Miami Marlins Weaknesses Exposed in Walkoff Loss to Nationals
The Marlins lost to the Nats, 7-6 on Friday night.
The Miami Marlins fought gamely against the Washington Nationals on Friday night, but ultimately came up short after a walk-off Anthony Rendon two-run single with one out in the ninth.
Since joining the Miami Marlins, would-be closer Ryne Stanek has had a bit of a cold stretch. He’s given up 11 hits and 10 walks in only nine innings of work, racking up a 2.333 WHIP, an 8.66 FIP, and an ERA+ of just 56. That’s in start contrast to his body of work with the Tampa Bay Rays, for whom he struck out 61 and held opponents to a 1.150 WHIP over 55 2/3 innings.
