Anonymous
The San Diego Padres crushed the Miami Marlins 7-2 on Saturday, pushing Miami's losing streak to 11 straight games. Ty France led the way with three RBIs, and the Padres racked up 11 hits on the night, according to AP News.
The Marlins have not won since beating the Seattle Mariners before the All-Star break. The loss deepens what is shaping up to be a brutal second half of the season for Miami, CBS Sports reported.
Ty France and JP Sears Shut Down the Marlins
France was the clear offensive star. He drove in three of San Diego's seven runs. The Padres spread their 11 hits across the lineup, keeping constant pressure on Miami's pitching staff, according to Daily Item.
On the mound, JP Sears was nearly untouchable in his stint. He gave up just one hit and struck out three batters over 3 1/3 innings. Sears kept Miami's lineup quiet and set the tone for the rest of San Diego's bullpen, Stamford Advocate reported.
Eury Pérez Struggles as Miami's Skid Deepens
Marlins starter Eury Pérez took the loss. He pitched seven innings but gave up seven hits and three earned runs. Despite lasting deep into the game, Pérez could not slow down the San Diego offense, according to WRAL.
The 11-game skid is a sign of how far Miami has fallen. The Marlins' last win came before the All-Star break. They have not been able to find any momentum heading into the second half, Newsday noted.
Walker Buehler Lines Up for Sunday's Series Finale
The Padres will send Walker Buehler to the mound on Sunday. He enters with a 6-5 record and a 5.23 ERA. San Diego will look to sweep the series and keep the pressure on Miami, per Yahoo Sports.
For the Marlins, Sunday offers a chance to snap the skid before it grows any longer. But facing a Padres team riding momentum and 11 hits in a single game, stopping the slide will not be easy, Herald Bulletin reported.
