Miami Marlins extend winning streak to six with 8-4 sweep of Seattle Mariners

The Miami Marlins completed a three‑game series sweep of the Seattle Mariners on July 9, 2026, winning 8–4 and pushing their winning streak to six games. Otto López delivered a two‑run triple, giving him a club‑record 127 hits before the All‑Star break and sustaining his league‑leading .345 batting average. Rookie pitcher Janson Junk returned from a shin injury, working five strong innings and earning the win.

The Marlins' offense added a first‑pitch homer from Griffin Conine and contributions from Kyle Stowers, Xavier Edwards, and other teammates. Seattle’s runs came from homers by Randy Arozarena and Dominic Canzone. Earlier in the series, Miami shut out Seattle 2–0, highlighted by a Kyle Stowers home run and Lopez’s multiple hits, marking his 40th game with more than one hit – a feat not seen since 2014.

The victories moved Miami to a 52‑42 record, ten games above .500 for the first time since June 2023, and solidified their position atop the league standings.
