Entering Tuesday’s series opener vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks at loanDepot park, the Miami Marlins find themselves above the .500 point.

The Marlins bats got hot on Sunday.

Kyle Stowers hit a run-scoring single in the ninth inning to give Miami a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday in the debut of Marlins manager Clayton McCullough.

Jesús Sánchez doubled twice and drove in three runs, and the Miami Marlins beat Shohei Ohtani and the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers 11-9 on Tuesday night.

Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter has pitched six no-hit innings against the Miami Marlins.

The Baltimore Orioles put outfielder Heston Kjerstad on the seven-day concussion injured list, less than 24 hours after he was hit in the helmet by a pitch.

Joey Votto sure knows how to make an instant impression, going deep on the first pitch he faced as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.

So far, the impact of baseball's expanded postseason is marginal.

Justin Verlander pitched three scoreless innings before departing because of right calf discomfort, and the Houston Astros used five relievers to close out a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

Anthony Santander hit one of the Orioles’ five homers and drove in four runs, and Baltimore outslugged the Boston Red Sox 15-10.
