MIAMI — Akil Badoo and Riley Greene homered, and five pitchers combined on a seven-hitter as the Detroit Tigers beat the Miami Marlins 5-0 Saturday. Tigers star slugger Miguel Cabrera doubled and singled in four at-bats and continued to receive cheers in his final visiting series against the club the native Venezuelan began his 20-year career with. The game, promoted as Venezuelan Heritage Day, attracted a season-high crowd of 32,936 — the largest crowd for a Marlins home game since April 2017. “I enjoy all these outings, enjoying my last year in the big leagues,” said Cabrera, who will retire...

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins acquired Dylan Floro from the Miami Marlins in exchange for Jorge López on Wednesday in a swap of struggling right-handed relievers on contending teams. Floro is an eight-year big league veteran with a career 3.32 ERA, but the 32-year-old is 3-5 with a 4.54 ERA and seven saves this season. Floro was a regular out of the bullpen for the 2020 World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. López was an All-Star in 2022 with Baltimore before being traded to Minnesota at the August trade deadine. The Twins traded minor league pitchers Cade Povich, Yennier Cano, Juan...

MIAMI — Luis Arraez singled home the winning run with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and the Miami Marlins ended an eight-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. With the Rockies playing five infielders, Arraez hit a line drive to an empty right field off Pierce Johnson (1-5), scoring Joey Wendle from third. “I saw the five infielders and that there was no right fielder,” Arraez said, “so I’m just thinking ‘if he throws one there inside, I’m going to pull it.’ The good thing is we win the game. It’s been a long time since we won.” Arraez connected on a 1-1...

MIAMI — After Colorado mounted a late comeback win against the Miami Marlins on Saturday, right-hander Justin Lawrence credited the success of the bullpen for helping the Rockies win five of seven games since the All-Star break. Lawrence worked a scoreless ninth inning for his seventh save and was part of a bullpen effort that helped the Rockies rally from an early three-run deficit to beat the Marlins 4-3, handing Miami its season-high eighth straight loss. “Young guys to old guys, we’re all going out there in whatever role we’re given, and we’re running with it,” Lawrence said. “It’s just...

MIAMI — C.J. Cron and Jurickson Profar hit two-run homers and Peter Lambert pitched five shutout innings in the Colorado Rockies’ 6-1 victory Friday night over the Miami Marlins, who dropped their seventh straight since the All-Star break. Lambert (2-1) struck out three while giving up three hits and a walk, returning from a three-week stint in the minors aimed at converting him into a starter after struggling as a reliever. He lowered his ERA from 6.28 to 5.49. The homers by Cron, Profar and a solo shot by Elias Diaz all came off Marlins starter Braxton Garrett (5-3), who gave up six runs over...

By WARREN MAYES ST.

The Rays were rained out at Kansas City. Miami fell to 9 1/2 back of Atlanta in the NL East but remains atop the wild card standings. Mullins and Frazier had three hits and two runs...

MIAMI — You never know when it will hit you. It hit Dane Myers during the National Anthem on Sunday. He realized just before this craziest of weeks got even crazier that he actually was here, living his dream, playing in the major leagues as the Miami Marlins center fielder. “I got a little emotional,’’ he said. No matter Myers was called up from the minors Monday when Jazz Chisholm suffered an oblique muscle injury. No matter he took over center field when Chisholm’s replacement, Jonathan Davis, suffered a knee injury Tuesday. No matter Myers got his first big-league hit in his first at-bat,...
