The Miami Marlins edged the Seattle Mariners 6–5 on July 7 at loanDepot park in a low-scoring affair that stayed well under the Vegas total of 8.5. Miami's offense proved marginally more efficient despite modest overall production, collecting 11 hits and 2 home runs while driving in 5 runs, posting an .742 OPS compared to Seattle's .694. The Mariners managed just 8 hits and 1 home run, though their pitching staff struck out 8 batters with a 3.55 ERA—better than Miami's 4.09—and allowed only 4 earned runs. Miami's pitchers also recorded 8 strikeouts but surrendered 8 hits and 5 earned runs, surviving a defensive miscue with one error. Both teams drew 4 walks and struck out 8 times, suggesting a relatively disciplined approach at the plate. The Marlins' narrow victory came down to marginal offensive advantages and Miami's ability to capitalize on limited opportunities, a pattern that could reflect on their run differential as the season progresses.
