For the second night in a row, the Miami Marlins wasted a spectacular outing from their starting pitcher on Saturday. Just like he has done in every game so far this season, starting pitcher Pablo López kept the Fish in the game, but the offense couldn’t help him in a 4-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
López gave up just two runs and walked zero batters in seven innings. Prior to this weekend, no Marlins starting pitcher had completed seven innings. It has now happened twice in two consecutive games, with Sixto Sánchez completing the feat on Friday night.
