Otto López delivered a pivotal performance as the Miami Marlins secured a 4-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Thursday night. López, who leads the major leagues with a .340 batting average, contributed a two-run home run in the eighth inning off reliever Cole Winn, marking his 33rd multi-hit game of the season. In addition to the homer, López recorded a single during the contest.
Xavier Edwards also played a key role for the Marlins, driving in a run with a single in the fifth inning. Miami’s pitching staff held the Rangers to just two runs, helping the team extend its strong June performance to a 16-5 record, the best in the major leagues this month. The win keeps the Marlins on pace as one of baseball’s most formidable teams through the early summer stretch.
