Marlins Shut Out Twins, Extend Streak to Eight

The Miami Marlins extended their winning streak to eight games, just one short of the franchise record, with a 2-0 shutout victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Kyle Stowers hit his 14th home run to provide an early lead, while Edward Cabrera delivered the Marlins' longest start of the season, pitching seven scoreless innings and recording his 400th career strikeout. The Marlins' bullpen, including Anthony Bender and former Twin Ronny Henriquez, closed out the team's fifth shutout of the year. Minnesota's Joe Ryan also pitched seven strong innings but took the loss after allowing one earned run. The Twins' offense struggled, producing only two hits, failing to advance a runner past second base, and suffering their second consecutive shutout and third straight loss. This marked the first time in Twins history they recorded two hits or fewer in back-to-back games without a no-hitter.
