San Diego Padres extend Miami Marlins losing streak to 12 games
The San Diego Padres rallied in the eighth inning to beat the Miami Marlins 5‑3 on Sunday, July 26, 2026, extending Miami’s losing streak to a franchise‑record 12 consecutive defeats. Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill each homered in the eight‑run inning that erased a three‑run deficit, while Luis Rengifo added a pinch‑hit two‑run double in a prior 4‑2 win earlier in the series.
Ty France supplied three RBIs in a separate 7‑2 victory on July 25, pushing the streak to 11 before it reached 12. Walker Buehler started for San Diego in the 5‑3 game, allowing three runs (two earned) over 5 1/3 innings. The game at loanDepot Park drew a crowd of 21,675.
These results kept the Padres around .500 and solidified their position in the National League West wild‑card race, while the Marlins remain mired in the longest skid in franchise history.
