The post Marlins' Ronny Simon responds to 3-error nightmare in loss to Padres appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Miami Marlins rookie Ronny Simon endured a night no player wants to experience. In Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the San Diego Padres, the 25-year-old committed three critical errors and was visibly emotional before being pulled from the game.

Despite the errors, Simon's reaction has emerged as a powerful display of maturity and resilience. Speaking to reporters Wednesday morning after a night to reflect, Simon offered insight into his mindset — one grounded in humility and uplifted by encouragement. As reported by MLB.com's Jason Foster and Christina De Nicola, Simon addressed the emotional moment with clarity and perspective.
'Just keep your head up,' Simon said. 'Doesn't matter what happened, just that's the past, turn the page, and tomorrow is another day.'
For a Marlins rookie thrown into the spotlight, his response speaks volumes. Simon emphasized that he's trying to enjoy the game, help his team, and learn from each experience.
Teammates quickly rallied around him, offering their full support. Marlins starter Max Meyer, who was on the mound during Simon's rough fourth inning, didn't hesitate to comfort his visibly frustrated teammate.

'I said, 'I know you're not trying to do any of that behind me… I'm not going to hold anything behind him.''
Support also came from around the league. Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. acknowledged the difficulty of Simon's night and emphasized that baseball's humbling nature is something every player experiences — and never escapes.
'Everyone who's won a Gold Glove or Platinum Glove has had one of those nights,' Tatis said. 'I definitely know he's a great player.'
Manager Clayton McCullough stood behind Simon's character, saying the moment was part of growing in a tough game. That kind of MLB player support — from opponents, teammates, and coaches — is invaluable for a player still adjusting to the big leagues.
Simon didn't appear in Wednesday's series finale, but the Marlins still believe in their rookie. How he handles this moment could define his early development — and so far, his attitude shows he's built to respond.

Manny Machado homers again as Padres defeat Brewers 2-0
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Manny Machado homered for a second straight game and five San Diego pitchers combined on a four-hit shutout as the Padres defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 on Friday night. Machado's eighth-inning homer off Grant Anderson was his ninth of the season. It came one day after he hit his 350th career homer in a 3-2 loss at San Francisco, making him the 33rd player to reach that milestone in his age-32 season or earlier. Machado turns 33 on July 6. Advertisement San Diego's other run came when Luis Arraez singled home Tyler Wade in the third. Wandy Peralta (3-0) earned the win after replacing starter Randy Vásquez and striking out Christian Yelich to strand runners on second and third in the fifth. Robert Suarez retired the side in order in the ninth to earn his MLB-leading 20th save in 22 opportunities. Vásquez walked four while striking out two and allowing two hits in 4 2/3 innings. Milwaukee's Chad Patrick (3-5) struck out six and gave up one run, four hits and three walks in six innings. The 26-year-old rookie lowered his ERA to 2.84. The Brewers left runners in scoring position in the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Advertisement Key moment After Jackson Chourio and Yelich hit consecutive two-out singles in the seventh, Adrian Morejon struck out William Contreras to preserve San Diego's 1-0 lead. Machado then provided the Padres some insurance when he led off the eighth by sending an 0-2 pitch inside the left-field foul pole. Key stat The Brewers left 10 men on base and went 1 of 9 with runners in scoring position. Up next RHP Stephen Kolek (3-1, 3.47 ERA) starts for the Padres and LHP José Quintana (4-1, 2.77) pitches for the Brewers when this three-game series continues Saturday. ___ AP MLB: Steve Megargee, The Associated Press
