Marlins Sweep Yankees First Time, Reach .500 With 30-14 Run

The Miami Marlins made franchise history by sweeping the New York Yankees in a three-game series, winning 7-3 in the finale to reach a .500 record (55-55) for the first time since mid-April. Edward Cabrera delivered a strong performance with six innings of nearly shutout pitching, while Kyle Stowers contributed a key three-run homer and four RBIs. The Marlins have dramatically improved after a poor 24-40 start, going 30-14 since June 13, tying for the best 44-game stretch in franchise history and becoming the first MLB team since 2014 to climb from 16 or more games under .500 to .500. The Yankees struggled offensively and on the mound, with Luis Gil's disappointing season debut and the team swept by Miami for the first time ever. Despite the sweep, the Marlins still face a tough playoff chase, sitting 5.5 games behind the final National League Wild Card spot with only a 1.2% postseason probability. The sweep further cements Miami as the only MLB team without a losing record against the Yankees, including postseason play.
