Jose Ramirez homers twice, leads Cleveland Guardians over Miami Marlins
Jose Ramirez hit two solo homers, including the go-ahead blast in the eighth inning off Calvin Faucher, as the Cleveland Guardians edged the visiting Miami Marlins 4-3 in their three-game series opener Tuesday night. The seven-time All-Star third baseman also went deep against Janson Junk in the first inning to break the franchise record with his 27th multi-homer game. Hall of Famer Jim Thome and Albert Belle formerly shared the mark. Ramirez has 25 homers on the season, while Kyle Manzardo went deep for the third time in two games and has 21. Manzardo has five homers and 13 RBIs in his last 16 contests. Cade Smith (5-4) retired all four batters he faced to earn the victory. Ramirez finished 3-for-4, leading the Guardians to their 10th win in 12 games since July 29. They entered the evening one game behind the New York Yankees for the final American League wild-card berth. Marlins co-closer Calvin Faucher (3-3) took the loss, giving up one run in one inning. Junk allowed three runs on six hits in five innings, striking out two without a walk. Miami is 2-7 since reaching the .500 mark. The Marlins trailed 3-0 heading into the fifth, when they scored three times off starter Logan Allen. Dane Myers singled to left to bring home Xavier Edwards, and Otto Lopez scored on Steven Kwan's throwing error as he attempted to throw him out at third. Rookie Heriberto Hernandez doubled in Myers for the tying run, giving him five RBIs in his last five games. Allen worked five innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits. The left-hander struck out five and walked four. Kwan threw out Eric Wagaman at home plate in the sixth for his 11th outfield assist, which leads the majors.

Marlins rumors: 4 Miami players drawing trade interest beyond Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera
The post Marlins rumors: 4 Miami players drawing trade interest beyond Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera appeared first on ClutchPoints. With the rumors surrounding Miami Marlins pitchers like Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, other players on the team are attracting other teams' interest. While specifically the interest around the Marlins' ace in Alcantara has been heating up ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, there are other under-the-radar pitchers on the team that the baseball world should know about. Will Sammon of The Athletic would write on Thursday that regarding pitchers Ronny Henriquez and Calvin Faucher, Miami 'is fielding interest in both players.' The reporter would also highlight that Faucher would be more likely to be dealt by the deadline with his 10 saves, 3.73 ERA, and 41 strikeouts, though Henriquez's numbers are solid as well. 'Two other Miami pitchers to keep in mind: Ronny Henriquez and Calvin Faucher. Miami is fielding interest in both players, people briefed on the situation said,' Sammon wrote. 'In particular, multiple teams are looking to acquire Faucher, league sources said,' Sammon continued. 'Of the two pitchers, he is more likely to get traded. Faucher, 29, has 10 saves with a 3.73 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 41 innings. Henriquez, 25, has a 2.96 ERA in 51 2/3 innings with 71 strikeouts. Both pitchers are under club control for multiple seasons.' Looking at players that aren't pitchers on Miami that have gained interest around the league is outfielders Jesush Sanchez and Dane Myers. Marlins' Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera are the 'splashiest' names As fans have been pondering trade proposals for the Marlins' star in Alcantara, the former Cy Young winner has been in rumors for a very long time, as well as Cabrera, who sports a 3.35 ERA and 96 strikeouts. For Alcantara, he had a slow start to the year as he currently has a 6.36 ERA with 81 strikeouts. 'The Marlins are a team to watch today for several reasons, including what happens with starters Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, two of the splashiest names on the market,' Sammon wrote. 'The interest in both Alcantara and Cabrera is very high, league sources said.' One team that is 'in the mix' for Alcantara is the Houston Astros, though there is some hesitation if they can get a deal one since they 'might get outbid,' according to Ken Rosenthal. 'The Houston Astros are in the mix for Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara, as well as San Diego Padres righty Dylan Cease, according to a source briefed on their discussions,' Rosenthal said in The Athletic. 'Club officials, however, fear that they might get outbid for both pitchers, given the competitive state of the market.' At any rate, it remains to be seen if pitchers Alcantara, Cabrera, Faucher, or Henriquez are moved ahead of the trade deadline on Thursday at 6 p.m. (EST). While the pitchers have been highlighted and interest around Sanchez and Myers, the Marlins could look like a different team in the aftermath of the deadline.

Giants' Bob Melvin offers 7-word defense to costly decision vs. Marlins
The post Giants' Bob Melvin offers 7-word defense to costly decision vs. Marlins appeared first on ClutchPoints. The San Francisco Giants fell in dramatic fashion to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night, losing 8-5 in 10 innings. But what stood out most was manager Bob Melvin's late-game decision to wave Jung Hoo Lee home, one that backfired and left fans buzzing. Advertisement Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, the Giants loaded the bases with no outs after Calvin Faucher issued his fifth walk of the night. Casey Schmitt then scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly from Willy Adames to make it 4-4. Patrick Bailey followed with a line-drive single to left field. Lee, running from second, was waved home on the play but was thrown out at the plate by Kyle Stowers. Catcher Nick Fortes applied the tag for the second out, and Bailey moved up to second on the throw. With the go-ahead run still in scoring position, Christian Koss then lined out to third baseman Connor Norby, ending the inning and the Giants' chance at a walk-off. After the game, Melvin defended the controversial move in a video posted by NBC Sports Bay Area onto X (formerly known as Twitter). 'We're trying to win a game there.' Advertisement That seven-word statement summed up the Giants vs. Marlins chess match that unfolded at Oracle Park. In the 10th, the Marlins responded with four runs—powered by Otto Lopez and rookie Heriberto Hernandez—to seal the victory. It was a crushing blow for a team neck-and-neck with the Padres in the NL Wild Card race. The MLB playoffs picture only grows tighter for the Giants. Now at 44-36, they're locked in a battle for the second Wild Card spot, and every mistake carries extra weight. Lee's aggressive base running may have cost them the game, but Melvin's decision reveals the kind of urgency the Giants are operating under. San Francisco finished 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position, continuing a frustrating trend (8-for-59 over the past eight games). While Mike Yastrzemski homered early and Heliot Ramos had two hits, the offense couldn't find the timely knock to finish the comeback. Meanwhile, the Marlins extended their win streak to three and secured their second straight series victory. For the Giants, the sting of this loss could linger—especially as questions mount around managerial decisions in crunch time.
