3 Aug
Summary
- Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers hit a 3-run homer in the series
- Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera had a strong 6-inning outing

In a surprising turn of events, the Miami Marlins have swept the New York Yankees for the first time ever. On Sunday, the Marlins claimed a 7-3 victory to complete the three-game series sweep, marking a significant upset over the powerhouse Yankees.
The hero of the series was Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers, who launched a three-run homer in the fourth inning to push the Marlins' lead to 6-1. Stowers finished the series with two homers and eight RBIs, playing a crucial role in the Marlins' success.
On the mound, Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera delivered a strong six-inning performance, allowing just two hits, one walk, and one run while striking out seven. This outing helped the Marlins climb to the .500 mark for the first time since mid-April.
The Marlins have been on a tear lately, winning 10 of their last 12 series since June 13. This impressive run has propelled them back into contention, and the sweep of the Yankees is a testament to their growing momentum and competitiveness.
Despite the Yankees' recent three-game winning streak before arriving in Miami, they were unable to overcome the Marlins' dominant pitching and timely hitting. Jazz Chisholm Jr., a former Marlins star, provided a bright spot for the Yankees with a two-run homer, but it was not enough to prevent the sweep.
The Marlins' victory over the Yankees is a significant milestone for the team, showcasing their ability to compete with the league's elite and solidifying their position as a team to watch in the second half of the season.
