Marlins sweep Yankees for first time in franchise history in front of record crowd, move to .500
The Miami Marlins' red-hot summer just keeps coming. The Marlins powered to a 7-3 win over the New York Yankees on Sunday, completing a sweep over the Yankees for the first time in franchise history. Miami also hit the milestone in front of a record crowd, with a series attendance of 101,545 setting a franchise record. With the win, Miami also moves to 55-55, hitting .500 for the first time since April. The team dropped to 24-40 in early June, but have won 31 games in the two months since to pull to even. Sunday's win came easily to the Marlins, who took a 3-1 lead after two innings. Then, in the fourth inning, Kyle Stowers hit a three-run homer to bring Miami's lead to 6-1. Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a two-run bomb in the seventh to help the Yankees cut into the deficit, but an RBI triple from Jakob Marsee secured the 7-3 win. The series was a poor showing from the Yankees, who dropped the first game 13-12 after a trio of relievers blew a 9-4 lead in the bottom of the seventh. All three pitchers — Jake Bird, David Bednar and Camilo Doval — were recent acquisitions ahead of the MLB trade deadline. The bad luck continued on Saturday, as the Yankees were caught sleeping while Miami powered to a 2-0 win. Then, on Sunday, the Marlins secured the historic sweep. Miami will keep trying to ride that momentum through the next series, a homestand against the AL West-leading Houston Astros. The Yankees, meanwhile, will lick their wounds on the way to playing the Texas Rangers in Arlington.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Has Defiant Response to Viral Baserunning Blunder
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees are scuffling, and lately it seems as though things that never happen to the other 29 Major League Baseball teams happen frequently to them. The latest example came on Saturday in the Yankees' 2-0 loss to the Miami Marlins. With Jazz Chisholm Jr. on first base and one out in the top of the second inning, Paul Goldschmidt popped up to Marlins second baseman Xavier Edwards. It looked for all the world like a routine pop-up. But as Edwards caught the ball, he quickly shuffled his feet and fired to first base, beating a diving Chisholm by a split second for an astounding double play.

(Photo by)To most Yankees fans, it was the kind of mistake that simply can't happen, and the kind the Yankees have been making far too often. But Chisholm seemingly insisted afterward that he hadn't done anything "wrong," per se. "I was just trying to be aggressive, already playing with both the middle infielders out there," Chisholm said, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. "I saw something that I thought they were going to do. He deked it like he was going to do it. He didn't do it. "Still trying to be aggressive because I played here before. I know how the field plays. Sometimes you get aggressive and you get caught up and you make an out." "Would you do it differently next time, now knowing what you know?" Chisholm was asked as a follow-up (via Talkin' Yanks on X). "No," Chisholm responded. The whole incident is fuel to the fire for Yankees fans who question the team's urgency, baseball acumen, or attention to details. And the fact that Chisholm wasn't punished (manager Aaron Boone took him out of sight for a conversation after the inning), only worsens the optics.

Kyle Stowers' blast leads Marlins to unprecedented Yankees sweep
August 3 - All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers launched a three-run homer as the host Miami Marlins claimed a 7-3 win on Sunday afternoon to sweep the New York Yankees for the first time. Stowers, whose fourth-inning blast pushed the Marlins' lead to 6-1, finished with two homers and eight RBIs in the three-game series. Miami won 13-12 on Friday and 2-0 on Saturday. Edward Cabrera (5-5) pitched six strong innings on Sunday as the Marlins (55-55) climbed to the .500 mark for the first time since being 8-8 on April 15. Cabrera allowed just two hits, one walk and one run while striking out seven. The Marlins are 30-14 since June 13. They have lost just one of their past 12 series, going 10-1-1. New York, which had won three straight games before coming to Miami, was led by former Marlins star Jazz Chisholm Jr., who slugged a two-run homer. The Yankees also got a homer from Trent Grisham, who hit a leadoff shot on the fifth pitch of the game. However, Luis Gil (0-1) couldn't hold the lead as he made his 2025 debut following an injury in March. Gil lasted 3 1/3 innings, allowing five hits, four walks and five runs. Gil walked two consecutive batters in the second inning before rookie Troy Johnston picked up his first major league RBI with a double. Xavier Edwards added an RBI single and Stowers completed the three-run rally with a sacrifice fly. In the fourth, Gil walked Graham Pauley and gave up a single to Edwards to encourage Yankees manager Aaron Boone to bring in reliever Brent Headrick. Three pitches later, it was 6-1 on Stowers' 25th homer of the season. In the seventh, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough brought in lefty reliever Josh Simpson. Giancarlo Stanton dribbled an infield single before lefty-swinging Chisholm slugged his two-run homer to cut New York's deficit to 6-3. Miami escaped further trouble in the seventh after Anthony Volpe's two-out triple as Simpson got Austin Wells on a flyout. In the bottom of the seventh, Otto Lopez walked and scored on rookie Jakob Marsee's 397-foot triple off the glove of Grisham, who had raced back to the warning track in straightaway center. The Marlins struck out 14 Yankees batters, including Lake Bachar's whiff of Volope for the final out of the game. --Field Level Media

‘It's not fine': Yankees must stop beating themselves with mind-boggling mistakes
MIAMI – Twice on Saturday evening, Aaron Boone implored 'don't get it twisted'' about his take on the Yankees' latest baserunning mess. 'Don't think, 'Oh yeah, it's fine.' It's not fine,'' the manager said after a terrible, 2-0 loss to the Marlins. 'It's not fine. But (stuff) happens sometimes.'' Stuff like this - or maybe not exactly like Jazz Chisholm Jr. brutally getting doubled up on a simple pop fly Saturday – has happened all too frequently in recent Yankee memory. And when they're not overcoming those mistakes with more home runs (or not protecting leads, thanks to a leaky bullpen), the not-very-buttoned-up part of the Yanks game gets exposed a little more. Since June 13, the Yankees are 18-26, having watched a four-game AL East lead dissolve into a 4.5 game deficit, currently in third place and clinging to the second Wild Card spot. Even their previous captain took issue with the Yankees' play on Fox Sports. "They make way too many mistakes,'' said Derek Jeter. "You have to clean it up, it's that simple. There's no excuses. If you don't play better, you're not going to go very far.'' Aaron Boone does not bench Jazz Chisholm Jr. At this critical time, an agitated Boone is seen in an animated, one-sided dugout discussion with his first base coach about communication. Boone spoke to Chisholm but didn't bench him, satisfied with his explanation that Marlins' second baseman Xavier Edwards might drop Paul Goldschmidt's pop up, trying to force out the speedy Chisholm at second base. 'I have no issue with the initial pressure (on Edwards),'' said Boone. 'But you've got to know exactly where you are to be able to get yourself back safely.'' Any way you slice it, this was a terrible play (and one Chisholm said he'd do again). And it came on the heels of the Yankees' worst loss of the year, blowing leads of 6-0, 9-4, and 12-10, against the Marlins. A reminder of when Austin Wells lost track of outs A few days before, Austin Wells – representing the winning run – forgot how many outs there were, and became the final out in the ninth inning (the Yanks won it in the 11th). Sunday marks the first anniversary of Boone pulling Gleyber Torres from a game (after a one-inning pause) for jogging to first base on a ball Torres thought was a homer. This was another in a series of Gleyber moments that led to an extremely rare in-game Boone discipline. When should a player get benched? Speaking generally on his ground rules for benching, Boone said it's about effort. 'And that could be a guy I feel like is not hooked up in the proper way from a focus standpoint, or if something has happened repeatedly.'' There was a moment Saturday when Boone said 'we absolutely have the people'' to play well and go on a long winning stretch, 'but talk is cheap.'' Talk isn't always cheap from the manager, and we're thinking about the time in 2005, when Joe Torre's slow burn reached a boiling point, telling a playoff team going through a lethargic stretch that he was through defending them publicly. There was an embarrassment-factor there, and Torre told his club so. They were better than this. Show it. 'I think we have a really good team. We haven't realized our potential yet,'' Boone said Saturday. 'We've got to get there. 'We've got a couple months to do it, we better hurry.''

Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr commits egregious baserunning blunder, faces social media backlash
New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. took heat on social media on Saturday over a head-scratching baserunning blunder against his former team, the Miami Marlins. Chisholm was on first base in the top of the second inning with Paul Goldschmidt up at bat. The Yankees' batter popped up to Marlins' second baseman Xavier Edwards. Chisholm was too far off first base and got caught napping. Edwards then threw the ball to first for the inning-ending double play. Chisholm was criticized by the Yankees' announcers during the broadcast as well as fans on social media for the brain fart. Yankees manager Aaron Boone also received some backlash on social media. "What was Chisholm thinking?" Yankees play-by-play man Michael Kay asked. Color commentator Paul O'Neill was left in shock, saying, "What is going on?" Boone and first base coach Travis Chapman also had an animated conversation in the dugout. Chishlom said afterward he wouldn't have changed anything, adding that he was trying to be aggressive on the basepaths by forcing Edwards to possibly make an error. "I was just trying to be aggressive, already playing with both the middle infielders out there," he said, via The Athletic. "I saw something that I thought they were going to do. He deked it like he was going to do it. He didn't do it. Still trying to be aggressive because I played here before. I know how the field plays. Sometimes you get aggressive and you get caught up and you make an out." Boone said he didn't think about taking Chisholm out of the game. New York lost the game, 2-0. The Yankees only mustered up two hits on Miami. Chisholm was 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout.
