Miami defeated Tampa Bay 4–1 on June 7 at loanDepot park in a low-scoring affair that fell well short of the Vegas total of 1 run. The Marlins' pitching staff was the decisive factor, striking out 10 batters while allowing just 6 hits and 1 earned run, posting a 4.24 ERA despite a shaky overall season. Tampa Bay managed only 6 hits and 1 RBI, with 10 strikeouts reflecting their offensive struggles at the plate; the Rays' pitching, meanwhile, coughed up 5 hits and 3 earned runs across the contest. Miami's hitters were equally anemic, recording just 5 hits with a .698 OPS, but capitalized on their opportunities with 3 RBIs and 6 walks to manufacture 4 runs. The Marlins' defensive efficiency—committing zero errors—proved crucial in a game decided by pitching and situational hitting rather than power production. With both offenses muted, Miami's ability to convert limited chances suggests the Rays face mounting pressure to generate runs as the series continues.
