Marlins Triumph Over Brewers: Ramírez Steals the Show

Rookie Agustín Ramírez Leads Miami to a Thrilling Victory

Miami, FL — Agustín Ramírez, the rookie sensation, came through when it mattered most. His two-run single in the eighth inning broke the tie. This helped the Miami Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Saturday.

Key Moments of the Game

• Kyle Stowers hit a powerful homer for the Marlins.
• Ronny Henríquez pitched two perfect innings in relief, keeping the Brewers at bay.
• Jared Koenig, a Milwaukee reliever, found himself in a tight spot. He entered the game with the bases loaded and no outs in the eighth inning.
• Koenig struck out Connor Norby and got Otto López to hit into a force play at home, showing his skill under pressure.
• Ramírez then hit a two-strike line drive to left, scoring Javier Sanoja and Xavier Edwards and securing the lead.

With 37 RBIs, Ramírez now leads all NL rookies, marking an impressive start to his career.

Eighth Inning Drama

The eighth inning was packed with action. Dane Myers and Sanoja started with singles against Brewers reliever Nick Mears. Edwards then reached on a single when his bunt rolled fair inside the third-base line, setting the stage for Ramírez’s heroics.

Game Highlights

• The Brewers tied the game at 2-all in the fourth inning, thanks to Isaac Collins’ run-scoring single.
• Rhys Hoskins hit an RBI triple in the second inning, giving Milwaukee an early lead.
• Stowers responded with a solo homer in the bottom half of the second inning. Liam Hicks also hit a run-scoring double, putting Miami ahead.

Hoskins left the game in the fifth inning due to left thumb discomfort. He had stepped off the bag and caught shortstop Joey Ortiz’s errant throw to tag Eric Wagaman out in the fourth inning, showing his commitment despite the injury.

Pitching Performances

• Brewers starter Chad Patrick allowed two runs in five innings, keeping his team in the game.
• Marlins starter Cal Quantrill gave up two runs and six hits over 3 2/3 innings, setting the stage for the bullpen’s strong performance.

After Hicks’ go-ahead double in the second inning, Patrick prevented the Marlins from expanding their lead. He retired Myers on a shallow fly ball and Sanoja on a grounder, demonstrating his control.

Stowers’ Impressive Homer

Stowers’ second-inning longball was his team-high 16th of the season. It had an exit velocity of 112.4 mph, making it the hardest-hit homer of his career so far.

Looking Ahead

RHP Brandon Woodruff is set to make his season debut on Sunday. He will start for the Brewers against Marlins RHP Edward Cabrera (3-2, 3.41), promising another exciting matchup.
