Marlins’ Janson Junk Dominates Orioles in 6-0 Victory

Janson Junk delivered a dominant performance for the Miami Marlins, pitching seven scoreless innings with five hits allowed, two strikeouts, and no walks, maintaining an impressive 2.68 ERA and improving his season record to 4-1. The Marlins defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-0, snapping their three-game losing streak, with Xavier Edwards hitting his first home run of the season as the offense rallied late in the game. Despite facing former Marlins pitcher Trevor Rogers, who struck out eight and held the Marlins mostly in check through six innings, the Orioles' bullpen faltered in the late innings, allowing multiple runs. The Orioles' offense struggled throughout, managing few scoring opportunities and failing to capitalize on hard-hit balls, which underscored ongoing concerns about their lineup's effectiveness. A notable play included a costly baserunning mistake early in the game when Gunnar Henderson was thrown out at home, reflecting the Orioles’ overall ineffective attack against Junk’s pitching. The game highlighted both Junk's efficient pitching and the Orioles’ offensive woes, as Miami’s bullpen and hitting came through decisively in the final innings.
