Miami Marlins losing streak 2026

Entities: Miami Marlins · Clayton McCullough · Liam Hicks · Max Meyer · Otto Lopez

Overview

In late July 2026 the Miami Marlins were entrenched in a nine‑game losing streak, highlighted by a three‑game sweep by the Houston Astros and an offense that managed three or more runs only twice in that span. Pitching held up, with starter Sandy Alcantara showing occasional effectiveness despite a rough outing.

Within two days the streak stretched to a franchise‑record twelve consecutive defeats, tying the New York Mets for the longest losing run in the major‑league season. The run began on July 10 and included a 5‑3 loss to the San Diego Padres after a 3‑1 lead. Despite the slump, the Marlins remained within striking distance of a National League wild‑card spot. Earlier in the season the team had featured breakout performances from catcher Liam Hicks, pitcher Max Meyer, and outfielder Otto Lopez, and posted a historic 20‑6 June that gave them a +53 run differential before the downturn.
