Marlins Post MLB-Best 17-5 June Record, Closing on Playoffs

Summary
Friday’s shutout of the Cardinals capped a 17-5 June for Miami, the best record in Major League Baseball this month and a sharp climb in the Wild Card race.
88 stolen bases and a top-10 on-base percentage have powered that surge, with the Marlins leaning on small-ball offense rather than home-run production.
Max Meyer has reinforced the rotation behind Sandy Alcántara and Eury Pérez, going 9-0 with a 1.78 ERA and 33 strikeouts in five June starts.
A bullpen that struggled earlier in the season has steadied, helping Miami protect late leads as a young roster arrives ahead of schedule nearing the All-Star break.
