Miami Marlins dominate Rockies as June record hits 20 wins

The Miami Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies twice in late June 2026, first a 10‑7 victory on June 29 and then a 14‑3 rout on June 30 in Denver. The wins lifted the Marlins to a 19‑6 record for the month, the best in franchise history and the first MLB team to notch 20 wins in a single month this season. The surge moved Miami into third place in the National League wild‑card race despite having the second‑lowest payroll in the league.

Key performances included pinch‑hit three‑run homer by Griffin Conine, home runs by Otto López, Owen Caissie and Joe Mack, and a three‑run triple by Javier Sanoja. Starting pitcher Sandy Alcántara improved to 6‑0 for the month, joining José Fernández and Chris Hammond as the only Marlins pitchers to finish a calendar month undefeated.

Separately, utility infielder Javier Sanoja was highlighted as a Gold Glove candidate, boasting a .944 fielding percentage across eight positions and strong offensive numbers. In his comments he expressed sorrow for the victims of the June 24 earthquake in Venezuela, his homeland.
