(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) MIAMI (AP) — Matt Chapman homered, Kyle Harrison pitched five shutout innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins 2-0 on Friday night. Tyler Fitzgerald went 2 for 3 with a double and a stolen base for the Giants, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Advertisement Harrison (1-1) made his second start since moving to the rotation, with three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander still out because of a strained right pectoral muscle. Harrison held the Marlins (22-33) without a hit until Eric Wagaman's leadoff single in the fourth. The left-hander didn't allow another one, striking out five and walking three. Five relievers held the Marlins to two hits before before Camilo Doval got the final four outs for his sixth save. Chapman hit a solo shot off Marlins starter Cal Quantrill (3-5) that went 420 feet to left, which made it 2-0 in the fourth and tied Chapman with Heliot Ramos and Wilmer Flores for the team home run lead with 10. Advertisement Quantrill struck out a season-high seven over five innings. He gave up eight hits, two runs and walked one. The Giants took the lead in the first when Flores drove in Ramos — who tripled earlier in the inning — with a two-out single that ended an 11-pitch at-bat. Connor Norby's seventh-inning double and pinch-hitter Jesús Sánchez's single in the eighth were Miami's only other hits. The Marlins stranded nine base runners and went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Key moment Down 0-2 in the eighth, Sánchez hit a leadoff single against Spencer Bivens and advanced when Otto Lopez was hit by a pitch. Doval came in with two out and retired Norby on a flyout to end the threat. Advertisement Key stat The Giants have gone 12 straight games without scoring more than four runs. Up next Giants LHP Robbie Ray (7-0, 2.56 ERA) will start the middle game of the series against Marlins RHP Edward Cabrera (1-1, 4.73). ___ AP MLB:

News, notes, observations from the Dolphins' Wednesday practice session. Who impressed
Notes and observations from Wednesday's Dolphins OTA session, the first of five practices that will be open to reporters over the next 15 days before the team adjourns for time off before training camp: ▪ Cam Smith, the former second-round pick, was smoked by Jaylen Waddle on a 60-yard touchdown, then grabbed his quad at the end of the play. He was limping noticeably, left briefly and then returned. Smith has battled injuries and performed unevenly during two seasons with the team and the Dolphins have put him on notice that he must perform. Miami has been counting on him to help fill a void at corner; whether he can remains to be seen. ▪ Austin Jackson, coming off knee surgery last November, was working at right tackle -- an encouraging sign. The one remaining health question on the offensive line will be whether new guard James Daniels, off a Week 4 torn Achilles, will be ready for training camp. ▪ Receiver Tyreek Hill, coming off two offseason wrist procedures, was training on his own doing 7 on 7 work and also doing a juggling drill with De'Von Achane that clearly showed he doesn't have a good mastery of the hand yet. Hill, whose right wrist is heavily taped, will be ready for camp, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has said on his TV segment. ▪ Tua Tagovailoa completed a 30-yard pass to Jaylen Waddle, who had two 30-plus yard catches and was the most impactful receiver working with Tagovailoa on Wednesday. Waddle did his damage against Cam Smith, Storm Duck and Ethan Bonner. Waddle and Bradley Chubb were arguably the top performers Wednesday. ▪ Chubb, who hasn't played in a game in 17 month, sacked new No. 2 quarterback Zach Wilson twice, including once while being blocked by Ryan Hayes. He's rounding into form after major knee injuries. ▪ Second-year edge player Chop Robinson had a good day, including at least one sack. ▪ Duck, one of several players competing for a bigger job after the release of Kendall Fuller and the inevitable forthcoming trade of Jalen Ramsey, wore the orange jersey given to the previous day's practice standout. Edge player Jaelan Phillips and cornerback Ethan Bonner wore the orange jerseys on Tuesday. ▪ There will be some growing pains for rookie second-round pick Jonah Savaiinaea. Matt Dickerson beat him for a sack. ▪ Receiver Tajh Washington, the 2024 seventh-round pick, was in a red non-contact jersey. He missed all of last season with an injury sustained during the summer. ▪ Tight end Tanner Connor, whose season ended prematurely last year due to injury, had a nice reception from Tagovailoa in 7 on 7 drills. Isaiah Johnson was in coverage. Veteran Jonnu Smith wasn't working Wednesday, so there were plenty of opportunities for the other tight ends. ▪ Besides Smith and Ramsey (who is no longer around the team), defensive linemen Zach Sieler also wasn't spotted, but these workouts are voluntary. ▪ Veteran running back Alexander Mattison, signed as a free agent in March, had a nice run after a catch from Zach Wilson on an outlet pass that he could have run for a touchdown if the play hadn't been stopped. Linebacker Willie Gay Jr. was vicitimized in coverage on that play. ▪ Rookie running back Ollie Gordon III has good speed and showed an ability to turn a corner on outside runs. ▪ Wilson completed a pass to Dee Eskridge, who made a nice one-handed catch with cornerback Kendall Sheffield in coverage. But Wilson also threw two poor passes. ▪ Safety Elijah Campbell stripped running back Jaylen Wright on a carry. ▪ Jaelan Phillips, off last September's knee injury, didn't participate in team work but has been involved in practice, Mike McDaniel said. ▪ Grayson Murphy, the former UCLA edge rusher who missed his rookie season last year due to injury, had a nice pressure on No. 4 quarterback Brett Gabbert, flushing him out of the pocket. Miami Herald sports writers Omar Kelly and C. Isaiah Smalls III reported from the team's practice site in Miami Gardens.

Dolphins set to hold joint practices with Bears and Jaguars
The Miami Dolphins will hold joint practices against two of the team's three preseason opponents they play in August. It was previously disclosed that the Dolphins would host the Jacksonville Jaguars for a series of joint practices leading up to the exhibition season finale. But on Thursday the Chicago media was informed that the Chicago Bears would hold joint practices with the Dolphins at Hales Hall, the team's training camp facility. A date and time for all three preseason games, as well as the practice have yet to be announced. And whether the public can attend these practices - or if they will be invite-only - has not been clarified. The last time the Dolphins held joint practices with the Bears at Hales Hall, which was in 2020, the practices were invite-only for Bears season-ticket holders. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is a huge fan of joint practices, which have become the norm in the NFL since four joint practices in the preseason are allowed. Sometimes teams hold back-to-back joint practices, setting up the preseason game that's typically played on Friday or Saturday. Not only does a joint practice allow both teams to gauge where they're at, it gives starters the opportunity to go head-to-head for a little taste of game action, without the going to the ground element. However, there are risks involved in joint practices. Two years ago receiver Jaylen Waddle broke his ribs in a joint practice, and last season Pro Bowl receiver Tyreek Hill suffered the wrist injury that lingered all season in Miami's joint practices with the Washington Commanders. Last year the Dolphins hosted joint practices against the Washington Commanders, and traveled to hold joint practices against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both the Jaguars and the Bears feature first-time head coaches. The Bears hiring Ben Johnson, a former Dolphins assistant who worked his way up the NFL as a member of Dan Campbell's coaching staff in Detroit. The Jaguars hired Liam Coen, who was hired from Tampa Bay, where he was part of Todd Bowles' coaching staff. 'You sign up in a joint practice if you have relationships with head coaches, you can kind of forecast what they're trying to get out of practice,' McDaniel said in mid-August. 'I think it's important that you can kind of find different teams you kind of see practice the same way so that you have the tempo similar so that you can push guys in the right way but it can be organized, constructive work as opposed to who wins each and every play.'

Miami Dolphins 2025 game-by-game predictions following schedule release
Miami Dolphins 2025 game-by-game predictions following schedule release The Miami Dolphins, as well as the rest of the NFL, officially released their schedule Wednesday. Miami will play nine home games (although one will be their trip to Madrid, Spain) and eight road games. Five of those matchups will be on prime time. So how will the Dolphins do after their disappointing 8-9 finish last season? Let's gaze into the crystal ball for a glimpse at the Dolphins' 2025 season: Week 1: Dolphins 24, Colts 17 (1-0) The Colts came away the victors in a Week 7 game last season that saw the Dolphins without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins started Tyler Huntley and were forced to turn to Tim Boyle late in the game. The Colts won 16-10, in a sloppy game that saw just a reception each from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Expect a completely different game in the 2025 opener as a fully healthy Dolphins' team, led by Tagovailoa, should be much more productive. Week 2: Dolphins 19, Patriots 16 (2-0) Miami swept these AFC East rivals in the last two seasons, and are 5-1 against the Patriots over the last three. But with new head coach Mike Vrabel and a solid offseason for New England, there are new problems for the Dolphins. Miami must contain second-year quarterback Drake Maye, and stop the run. If they can, they'd be off to a strong start with hard-fought home opener win under their belt to get to 2-0. Expect a one-score game, with some drama, and a Jason Sanders winner to walk off, 19-16. Week 3: Bills 31, Dolphins 20 (2-1) While Miami has had the Patriots' number, Buffalo has had their way with the Dolphins lately. The Dolphins have just one victory against their rivals from Upstate New York in the last 14 matchups against the Bills and they've lost six straight. Until the Dolphins can turn the tide, it's still Buffalo's division. On a short week, and after two tough wins to open the season, the Dolphins are brought back down to Earth. Josh Allen leads the Bills to another win, dropping Miami to 2-1. Week 4: Dolphins 27, Jets 13 (3-1) On the flip side, Miami has won four of its last five against the Jets and are 12-3 against them since 2017. After a long rest following a Thursday night loss, the Dolphins rebound during a Monday Night Football doubleheader. The Jets haven't won in South Florida since 2015, and you can expect the decade of Hard Rock dominance to continue against Gang Green, who could go home black and blue after losing under the lights. Look for Jaylen Waddle to continue to crush the Jets, who has a career 80.4 percent catch rate against New York. Waddle has 45 receptions on 56 targets for 531 receiving yards in seven games against the Jets. Dolphins get to 3-1 after three straight divisional matchups. Week 5: Dolphins 26, Panthers 16 (4-1) Carolina has a young, improving quarterback in Bryce Young, and a new weapon in rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan. The duo won't be enough to beat the Dolphins, though, as Miami is simply still the more talented team. The Panthers were 5-12 last year, and Miami has enough to come away with a road win. Against one of the worst defenses of the 2024 season, Miami's attack should put the game out of reach early, but expect some fourth quarter garbage time numbers and points from Young and his new target. Week 6: Chargers 34, Dolphins 27 (4-2) The Dolphins welcome Justin Herbert to Hard Rock Stadium in a matchup of 2020 first-round quarterbacks. In what could be a stat-stuffing high-scoring affair, Miami comes up a tad short here. The Chargers have too many weapons for a Dolphins' secondary that, at the moment, will be rather thin following the eventual trade of Jalen Ramsey. Look for Ladd McConkey to make Miami miserable. Week 7: Dolphins 27, Browns 10 (5-2) The Dolphins went into a Week 17 matchup last season against the Browns and left with a win behind an admirable effort by backup quarterback Snoop Huntley. Cleveland is still trying to build a winner, and 2025 is not the year it comes to fruition. If Tagovailoa is healthy, he should be able to lift the Dolphins to a smooth sailing victory on a mild afternoon on the banks of Lake Erie. The Miami ground game will dominate the second half to close the contest. Week 8: Falcons 27, Dolphins 20 (5-3) In the second of back-to-back road games, Miami has an opportunity to take hold of the AFC East, but hit a wall in Atlanta. Second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and running back Bijan Robinson prove too much for Miami to handle. Drake London at receiver and tight end Kyle Pitts could be a factor as well. Pitts faced Miami once so far in his career, and caught seven of his eight targets for 163 yards back in 2021. Week 9: Ravens 24, Dolphins 20 (5-4) Birds of another feather flock to Hard Rock on the eve of Halloween for a Thursday Night Football treat. Miami will look to bounce back, and hope to replicate the last time Baltimore faced the Dolphins in South Florida on a Thursday night. In 2021, Miami masterfully held quarterback Lamar Jackson in check en route to a 22-10 win. Miami must stop the mobile quarterback again, and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who knows Jackson plenty from his Baltimore days, schemes a way to stop Jackson, or at the very least, contain him. They also must stop running back Derrick Henry, which could be a major test for rookie defensive tackle Kenneth Grant In a game that comes down to the wire, Miami puts up a solid effort, but Jackson, Henry and the Ravens are just a bit too much for the Dolphins. Week 10: Dolphins 31, Bills 30 (6-4) In the first game of round two of AFC East matchups, the Dolphins have a long week of rest following their loss to the Ravens and hope to avoid the .500 mark with a loss to the Bills. But the Dolphins even the season series against their heated rivals by figuring out how to slow 2024 MVP Josh Allen. In what could be a 'must-win' of sorts, the Dolphins rely on Jason Sanders to send them off the field winners in a 31-30 stunner. Week 11: Commanders 33, Dolphins 23 (6-5) After 10 straight weeks of action and a trip across the Atlantic, Miami has to face Jayden Daniels and the Commanders. A healthy Miami team could go toe-to-toe with Washington, but given the toll of the first half of the season, this game could get out of hand. The Commanders and Daniels deal the Dolphins a loss, as wide receiver Terry McLaurin is too much to handle. Week 13: Dolphins 35, Saints 10 (7-5) With the recent retirement news of quarterback Derek Carr, the Saints could be in trouble at the position. A room of unproven, young quarterbacks and a rookie will vie for a job. Regardless who comes out on top, the Dolphins dominate at Hard Rock after healing up on their bye week. The Dolphins should have no issues here at home and take care of the visitors in a rout. Week 14: Dolphins 19, Jets 13 (8-5) This game will be a true test of the new identity the Dolphins are trying to manifest. This matchup will be trench warfare on both sides of the ball. If the road game in the Northeast in December doesn't hinder the Dolphins, it could spell out success the rest of the season. Miami sweeps New York in a slugfest. Week 15: Dolphins 23, Steelers 16 (9-5) This will be just the second two-game road stint Miami has all season, but it's not an easy trip. Pittsburgh has won the last three times they faced the Dolphins on Monday night. It was way back in 1995 when Miami last beat the Steelers on a Monday, and in 2025, the streak snaps. The quarterback position in Pittsburgh is up in the air at this juncture, and Miami could have another opportunity to show their newfound toughness, winning on the road in the cold. Week 16: Bengals 31, Dolphins 27 (9-6) In their prime-time finale, Miami hosts Joe Burrow and the Bengals in another 2020 quarterback draft class duel (health permitting). Tagovailoa and his targets need to keep pace with Burrow, and arguably the NFL's top tandem of receivers, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The Dolphins and Tagovailoa keep pace with the Bengals, but fall a bit short, as the offensive firepower is just a bit too much for Miami. Week 17: Dolphins 29, Buccaneers 22 (10-6) In a social media post earlier in April, Tyreek Hill called Baker Mayfield a top five quarterback. Not on Hill's list was his own, Tagovailoa. This could be late season bulletin board material for Miami and their leader at quarterback. In a game Miami must secure to have a chance at the postseason, Hill helps the Dolphins get a crucial win that sets up potential win-and-in game Week 18 on the road in New England. Week 18: Dolphins 17, Patriots 14 (11-6) With a season sweep and spot in the playoffs on the line, Miami has one more chance to solidify their newborn identity of toughness in a January matchup that could be blizzardy. The soft stigma could be smashed here, as Miami looks to its trenches to punch a ticket to the NFL playoffs. Once again, the Dolphins beat the Patriots off the foot of Jason Sanders.
