Heartbreak for the Marlins 
Tonight's matchup against the Diamondbacks didn't go our way, and it's tough to see the Marlins fall 3-1. Let’s break down what happened.Early Pressure from the D-backs
The game started with a nerve-wracking top of the 1st inning. Corbin Carroll singled to left and eventually scored on Joc Pederson's center-field single. It was a rough start, but our defense held on from there, allowing the D-backs to take only a 1-0 lead.Opportunities Missed 
We had our chances early in the game. In the bottom of the 1st, Jonah Bride doubled to right, but we couldn't bring him home. The second inning saw Otto Lopez single to center, followed by another hit from Cristian Pache in the 5th, eventually scoring on an Xavier Edwards single. Sadly, that was our only run.Diamondbacks' Power Plays 
The D-backs added to their lead with a solo homer by Corbin Carroll in the 5th and another big homer by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the 6th. Even though our pitching, highlighted by solid relief from Nardi and Tinoco, kept things tight, that was enough for Arizona to seal the deal.Striking Out on Opportunities 
Despite doubles by Jake Burger, Connor Norby (twice!), and Jonah Bride, we just couldn’t string together enough hits to bring the runners home. The Diamondbacks' defense and a couple of timely pitching changes kept us at bay.Closing In, but Falling Short 
In the 9th inning, pinch hitter Vidal Bruján tried to spark a rally but grounded out, marking the end of our hopes. It was a battle, but tonight we tip our hats to the Diamondbacks and look ahead to bouncing back in our next game!Stay strong, Marlins fans!
