The Miami Marlins secured a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on June 24, 2025, marking a significant moment for the team as they handed Giants pitcher Justin Verlander his fifth loss of the season, leaving him winless. Otto Lopez led the charge for the Marlins with two hits and an RBI, while Xavier Edwards, Connor Norby, and Jesús Sánchez also contributed with two hits each. Eric Wagaman added an impactful RBI double to the tally.
Despite the Giants tying the game with a two-run homer by Christian Koss, the Marlins regained the lead thanks to Edwards’ clutch RBI double, which came in the seventh inning. Verlander, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, had a rocky outing where he allowed three runs and five hits in five innings, adding to a frustrating season as he remains without a win after 12 starts—a record low for him and the Giants franchise.
Marlins starter Cal Quantrill, who had not won since May 18, held the Giants to two runs and four hits over 4 2/3 innings. The victory was a positive moment for Miami, marking their third win in four games, showcasing their resilience.
In a key play during the fifth inning, Giants’ Rafael Devers attempted to score from first base but was tagged out at home, a moment that shifted momentum back to the Marlins.
Looking ahead, the Giants will hope to turn things around as RHP Logan Webb (7-5, 2.49 ERA) prepares to take on Marlins RHP Edward Cabrera (2-2, 3.81) in the upcoming game, where there’s potential for a comeback as they aim to bounce back from this tough loss.
The Marlins’ recent performance shows they are gaining traction in the season, and with a well-rounded effort, they could continue to build on this success.
