Marlins snap streak, 1‑0 win sparks sweep Phillies, trade talk grows

The Padres‑Marlins series in late July saw Miami halt Marlins continued their late‑July surge against the Philadelphia Phillies, turning a franchise‑record 12‑game losing streak against the Philadelphia Phillies. Initial reports described into a three‑game sweep. After an 8‑7 walk‑off victory win that lifted them to 53‑54, the Marlins to 53‑54 and kept them within striking distance of a National League wild‑card berth. A later box score confirmed posted a 1‑0 win that completed a three‑game sweep, victory on July 28, with Sandy Alcantara delivering seven shutout innings, recording his innings (his 111th career quality start and posting a league‑leading 16th quality start of the season. season) and Kyle Stowers supplied providing the lone run run. The win intensified trade‑deadline chatter: Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski is still hunting a right‑handed outfielder, a fifth starter and a high‑leverage reliever, while Alcantara’s market value is being re‑examined. The series concluded on July 29 with an 8‑6 Marlins win. Heriberto Hernández hit his 16th homer of the year, and Javier Sanoja contributed a first‑inning solo homer. Manager double, walk and run. Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo was charged with six runs, ending his bid for a tenth win. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said the club would stay the course reiterated a “stay‑the‑course” approach at the upcoming trade deadline, retaining keeping left‑hander Braxton Garrett as a target while keeping retaining Alcantara under contract through 2027. Nevertheless, the strong performance has fueled speculation that Alcantara could become a trade asset. Phillies general manager Dave Dombrowski, meanwhile, is said to be actively seeking a right‑handed outfielder, a fifth starter and a high‑leverage reliever ahead of the August 3 deadline. Both teams remain entrenched in the wild‑card race, with the Marlins hoping the momentum shift can carry them into the postseason.
