Miami Gets Blasted By Oakland to Lose Series on Saturday Night
The Miami Marlins took a beating today, dropping their matchup with the Oakland Athletics by a score of 20-4 to officially drop the series.
Here’s what you need to know from the contest:
Miami’s pitching staff wore this one
Trevor Rogers got the start for Miami, and it just did not work out for the young starter. Rogers was charged with eight runs on eight hits and three walks in just 2.1 innings, getting knocked out in the third inning. He strick out only one while allowing two homers, throwing 78 pitches (44 strikes) in the process.
Rogers just struggled to miss bats today. He got only three whiffs, all on the fastball, and finished with a paltry 18% CSW. Oakland hitters made contact with 30 of their 33 swings, putting fourteen of those in play and fouling sixteen off.
Darren McCaughan came in after Rogers and was tasked with giving Miami some length; his ERA will pay the price. McCaughan went 4.2 innings, being charged with eight runs of his own on nine hits and three walks, giving up three homers.
Corner infielder Emmanuel Rivera pitched the ninth, giving up four runs on four hits (including a homer).
Where is the offense?
While it’s not realistic to assume that Miami’s offense could have kept up with a 20-run pace from Oakland, the Marlins offense didn’t come close. Miami hitters picked up only seven hits and four runs, with Bryan De La Cruz (2-4 with a homer and two RBIs) the only player with multiple hits.
It’s not much, but Nick Fortes’ 6th inning solo homer was the first home run of the season for a Miami catcher, coming in the 35th game of the season.
Luis Arraez had a great debut for San Diego
To add insult to injury, recently traded second baseman Luis Arraez made his debut for the San Diego Padres tonight. Leading off from the designated hitter spot, he went 4-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. He’s the first Padres player to debut with a four-hit game.
What’s next for the Miami Marlins?
Miami wraps up the series tomorrow afternoon at 4:07 PM, with Sixto Sánchez making his third start in what is expected to be a quasi-bullpen game against righty Joe Boyle. The broadcast can be found on Bally Sports Florida.

Miami Dolphins Fans Vs. The Media
What do you see as a realistic r ecord for the 2026-2027 Miami Dolphins?
Worst case: Wins 7, Losses 10
Best case: Wins 9, Losses 8
(with possible playoff)
Is your take more optimistic than the national media’s?
From what I’ve been r eading, my take is way more optimistic, even in the worst case.
Most have Miami 4 – 5 wins tops.
If so, what’s your reasoning?
Over the last 4yrs (McDaniel tenure), f ans here had questions at QB, O-line, D-line Corner & Safety.
This is a different yr, but with the same questions at the s ame positions.
The possibility is there. All things seem to be equal, so the out come shouldn’t be much worse or better.

Wives of detained men allege inhumane conditions at federal detention center in Miami
Wives of several men being held at the Federal Detention Center in downtown Miami are alleging their husbands are facing inhumane conditions following a transfer from the Krome Detention Center, where detainees were evacuated due to recent wildfires.
The women gathered outside the downtown Miami facility on Wednesday to call for basic humane treatment for their husbands.
The Federal Detention Center is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, not U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. While ICE transferred the detainees to the federal facility, the Bureau of Prisons is responsible for conditions inside.
Among those speaking out was Judith Castellanos, whose husband, 51-year-old Marlon Cervelo, has been in immigration detention since 2023.
“He is my husband, my brother, my confidant, my everything,” Castellanos said, adding that she fears for his life.
According to Castellanos, Cervelo was detained following his annual immigration appointment in 2023. Since then, he has been held at multiple facilities, including Alligator Alcatraz, Krome Detention Center and now the Federal Detention Center in downtown Miami.
Castellanos said the detainees are requesting basic necessities.
“They want something similar to what they had in Krome,” Castellanos said, noting the need for clean clothing and reliable access to drinking water.
Arianne Betancourt, an activist with the social justice organization The Workers Circle, echoed the families’ concerns.
“Nobody should be denied access to water,” Betancourt said during a news conference.
While CBS News Miami was covering the event, Castellanos received a call from her husband inside the facility. Speaking in Spanish, Cervelo claimed conditions remain difficult.
“We still have no air conditioning in the rooms and no medicines,” Cervelo said.
Another spouse says deportation isn’t an option
Another spouse, Annette Uset, said her husband, Daikel Dumont, is being held in solitary confinement.
“He told me the conditions that he was in, and I went ahead and contacted the news,” Uset said.
Anisley Cortez said she is concerned for her husband, 41-year-old Noslen Sendra, who suffers from diabetes and acute pancreatitis. She alleged he is not receiving the necessary medication.
The three women said their husbands share similar immigration histories. Each was detained by immigration authorities after serving prison sentences for past criminal convictions. Because Cuba has not accepted their deportation, they have remained in federal custody.
CBS News Miami requested a response from the Federal Bureau of Prisons regarding the allegations.
In a statement, the agency acknowledged the facility experienced water pressure problems on July 1, but said inmates were provided additional bottled water while repairs were underway. Officials said the issue was resolved the following day.
The Bureau of Prisons also confirmed that one of the facility’s air-conditioning chillers malfunctioned on July 6, but stated the problem has been repaired and both chillers are operating normally.
Despite those assurances, the families said they will continue to speak out until they see meaningful improvements in the treatment of their loved ones.
When asked if she would follow her husband to Cuba if deportation were an option, Castellanos replied, “I would follow him.”
According to the families, however, immigration officials have encouraged their husbands to self-deport to a third country, an option all three men have declined.
