Marlins’ 16-hit attack sinks Yu Darvish, Padres | Sports

Josh Bell had three of the Miami Marlins’ 16 hits and Jesus Sanchez hit a home run in a 9-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday that prevented a three-game sweep. Miami starter Braxton Garrett (2-0) had six hits and one run in five innings with no walks and two strikeouts. Four relievers held San Diego in check, allowing just two hits and a walk in four scoreless innings to prevent the team’s first three-game home sweep of the season. Yu Darvish (4-3) suffered his second straight loss, lasting just three innings and allowing six hits. He allowed three runs (two earned), walked one and struck out two strikeouts. Miami came out on the attack and scored in six innings. The big break came in the fifth inning, when relievers Stephen Kolek and Enyel De Los Santos touched down three runs to build a 6-1 lead. Jake Burger brought Bell, who had started with a double, home with an RBI single that chased Kolek. De Los Santos came in and immediately allowed three consecutive singles, the last two bringing runs thanks to Otto Lopez and Vidal Brujan. Sanchez increased the lead to 7-1 in the sixth inning when he hit his third home run of 2024, a long solo home run to right that seemed to sail down a runout ramp. Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed with a two-out RBI triple in the seventh inning that scored Lopez, who drew a walk. Lopez capped the scoring in the ninth inning when he hit a single and finally scored on a groundout by Nick Fortes. Fortes’ two-out RBI double and Chisholm’s run-scoring single put the Marlins on the scoreboard in the second inning, and they went up 3-0 in the third on Manny Machado’s throwing error. The Padres’ Ha-Seong Kim hit a home run in the bottom of the third inning, his seventh of the season. Donovan Solano was San Diego’s only two-hit batter. – Field Level Media
