Burger homers for third straight game, Marlins win 7-6 to snap Padres’ seven-game win streak
Jake Burger homered for the third straight game, Jesús Sánchez also had a home run and the Miami Marlins beat San Diego 7-6 on Sunday to end the Padres’ seven-game win streak.
Burger has homered 12 times since the All-Star break. He did it in just 23 games, surpassing Giancarlo Stanton for the fastest in club history. Stanton accomplished it during his 59-homer and NL MVP season in 2017.
“My wife texted me after the game and said, ‘Are you even human now?’” Burger said. “Obviously, I’ve always felt I’m one of the best power hitters in the game. I’m not immune knowing this is not going to last forever. But If I can keep myself in these types of zones for a longer period, I feel I’ll have a real good career.”
Ha-Seong Kim originally was credited with a game-tying home run off Andrew Nardi when his drive first bounced off the padding in left field, then left fielder Kyle Stowers’ glove and over the wall with two outs in the ninth. But after an umpire review, the call was reversed to a double.
“Weird one. I was just trying to go after it and catch the ball as simply put and thought I put a good attempt at it,” Stowers said. “It was out of my reach and the way it bounced back up as it was coming down it hit my glove.”
Padres manager Mike Schildt said he didn’t receive a detailed breakdown from crew chief Bill Miller on the reversal.
“He gave me no explanation — overturned ground-rule double,” Schildt said. “I think they got it right. Whether I agree with the rule or don’t agree with the rule, it’s a tough play because of the timing of it. The ball went over the fence, didn’t touch the ground. Feels like a home run. But the rule tells you differently.”
George Soriano relieved Nardi and struck out Luis Campusano for his first save as Miami snapped a three-game skid, with all the losses in extra innings.
“The whole series and the whole homestand was emotionally and physically exhausting,” Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. “If I’m gassed, I can’t imagine what our players feel. There were some really tough, end-of-the-game, extra-inning losses and then to come back like that is incredible.”
Marlins starter Max Meyer (3-2) allowed three runs and seven hits, while striking out four in a career-high 6 1/3 innings. Meyer was lifted after David Peralta’s run-scoring double got San Diego within 5-4.
“I was able to keep my fastball in play through the whole game and felt I got some teeth back on my slider,” Meyer said of his fourth start since being recalled from Triple-A on July 27. “I definitely felt a lot better on the mound.”
Sánchez’s two-run drive off reliever Yuki Matsui in the seventh extended Miami’s lead before San Diego narrowed the deficit on pinch-hitter Donovan Solano’s two-run drive off Nardi in the eighth.
Luis Arraez had three hits for the Padres. He went 7 for 15 in the series against his former club.
The Marlins scored five against Padres starter Dylan Cease (11-9) in the first two innings before the right-hander settled down and kept them scoreless through the final three innings of his outing. Three of the runs charged to Cease were unearned after two Padres errors in the second. Cease gave up six hits, struck out five and walked two.
Run-scoring singles by Jonah Bride and Otto López in the first put Miami ahead 2-0.
Burger’s two-run drive capped a three-run second. Xavier Edwards reached when Arraez dropped shortstop Kim’s throw to first that also allowed Derek Hill to score from third before Burger connected
The Padres began narrowing the deficit with RBI groundouts from Peralta in the fifth and Jurickson Prufar and Jake Cronenworth in the sixth.
“You’re down 5-0 last day of the road trip, day game and this is what makes me so pleased about this club,” Schildt said. “This is what makes me so pleased about the trait of this club. Irrespective of circumstance, road, score, day, night, hot and cold, they’re going to compete.”
Both benches cleared at the end of the fourth after Miami second baseman Otto López objected at Cronenworth’s hard slide at the bag to break up a double play but no punches were thrown.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Marlins: LHP Josh Simpson (left elbow neuritis) completed his second rehab outing with Single-A Jupiter on Saturday, throwing one scoreless inning.
UP NEXT
Padres: Return home Monday, when RHP Joe Musgrove (3-4, 5.66) will start the opener of a three-game series against Pittsburgh. The Pirates have not announced a starter.
Marlins: Have not announced a starter for the opener of a two-game set at Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Phillies also have not listed a starter.
Inventory of homes and condos across the coastal Miami mainland and Miami Beach and the barrier island markets fell in the first quarter, marking the first big inventory drops since 2023.
The Corcoran Group’s first quarter reports don’t cover all of Miami-Dade County, but they offer insight into how the coastal markets, which have a higher share of luxury properties, are performing.
In Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne, single-family home inventory dropped 15 percent annually to 398 listings, and condo inventory was down 13 percent to 3,919 listings.
On Miami’s coastal mainland markets, which include Aventura, Miami Shores, Upper East Side, Edgewater, downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, inventory slipped 4 percent to 4,584 condo listings and 555 single-family listings, down 6 percent year-over-year.
Here’s a closer look at the market:
Miami Beach and the barrier islands
Single-family sales rose 13 percent year-over-year to 85 closings, the first time they have increased since the second quarter of 2024. Condo closings rose 15 percent to 693 closings, the first increase since the last quarter of 2024.
Pricing dropped, with the median price of single-family homes down 4 percent to $3.5 million and the median condo price down 9 percent to $640,000. The average price per square foot was nearly flat at $1,119.
Still, buyers set records with their purchases. Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg paid $170 million for the waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, and Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz paid $44 million, or $7,949 per square foot, for a penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences at The Surf Club.
Coastal mainland
Sales of single-family homes on the coastal mainland rose 16 percent to 220 closings. While markets like Coral Gables experienced declines in condo and single-family home sales, Coconut Grove home sales surged — up over 100 percent for single-family homes to 47 closings and up 55 percent to 87 condo closings. Condo sales rose 13 percent to 759 closings.
The median price of single-family homes across the coastal mainland rose 11 percent to just over $2 million. The median price of condos increased slightly, up 1 percent, to $602,000.
The priciest deals in the first quarter were the $32 million trade of 12 Tahiti Beach Island Road in Coral Gables, and the $19.8 million sale of a penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle.
A cult-favorite serving of New York-style Chinese dining is headed to Miami Beach. Hospitality veterans and NYC natives Marc Rose and Med Abrous—the duo behind L.A.-based hospitality group Call Mom—are bringing Genghis Cohen to Sunset Harbour, marking the 42-year-old institution’s first expansion outside of Los Angeles.

Set to open in late 2026, just in time for Chinese food on Christmas, Genghis Cohen Miami Beach will take over the former Sardinia space at 1801 Purdy Avenue. The new outpost promises to channel everything that’s made the original a legend: New York-style Chinese comfort food, a buzzy retro vibe and just enough kitsch to keep things fun.
For those not in the know, Genghis Cohen has long been a late-night staple in L.A., beloved for its mash-up of classic Chinese-American dishes and downtown New York sensibility. That same spirit will anchor the Miami Beach location, with a menu featuring the restaurant’s greatest hits (oversized egg rolls, queen chicken, crab rangoon) alongside a cocktail program led by its signature “foo foo” drinks.
Design-wise, expect a faithful homage rather than a carbon copy. The Miami iteration will recreate the original’s signature red booths and throwback ‘80s energy, reimagined for Sunset Harbour’s polished, pedestrian-friendly setting. But it will also lean into its new environment as well, with a menu that will likely evolve to include fresh seafood and more Miami delights.
For Rose, the move is also personal. He spent childhood holidays in South Florida, and both he and Abrous have long had their eye on Miami as a site for a proper NYC-style Chinese spot. After years of scouting, they landed on Sunset Harbour as the ideal mix of walkability, proximity to the beach and built-in neighborhood energy.
That combination could prove key to Genghis Cohen’s next chapter. Miami has no shortage of flashy openings, but few carry the kind of built-in legacy this one does. By importing a concept with decades of history and a fiercely loyal following, the team is betting that nostalgia, when done right, can feel just as fresh as the latest trend.
