The Miami Marlins edged the Colorado Rockies 4–3 on March 28 at loanDepot park in a defensive battle that stayed well below the Vegas total line of 1. Miami's pitching staff dominated, striking out 10 batters while allowing just 6 hits and posting a 1.50 ERA, though one error prevented a clean sheet. The Marlins' offense generated 10 hits and 4 RBIs with a .729 OPS, enough to overcome Colorado's power surge—the Rockies smacked 2 home runs but managed only a .543 OPS and .200 batting average across 6 hits. Colorado's pitchers fanned 7 but surrendered 4 earned runs on 10 hits, reflecting a 3.38 ERA that proved costly in a one-run game. The Rockies' inability to capitalize on their long balls, coupled with Miami's efficient pitching and contact hitting, decided the contest in the home team's favor. Miami's strong early-season ERA suggests the pitching depth will be critical as the season unfolds.
