Fenway spectacle turns dramatic as Dane Myers’ leaping grab briefly etches a highlight, only to melt into a two‑run homer that shores up Boston’s lead before Miami rallies. Myers redeems himself with a ninth‑inning solo shot off Greg Weissert to knot the game, then Jakob Marsee’s two‑run blast off Steven Matz torpedoes the Red Sox in a 5‑3 Marlins win that snaps Boston’s weekend sweep bid.

Miami’s Janson Junk and Garrett Crochet delivered a masterclass in a near‑pitchers’ duel, each spinning seven innings and allowing just one run apiece before the late miscues. Aroldis Chapman’s Saturday closer duties linger as a Sunday absence looms, complicating bullpen plans for Boston. Abreu’s calf tightness adds to the drama, leaving the Red Sox to navigate rest of season health concerns while still clinging to a marginal AL East edge.

The Sox’ offense stalled for much of the day, grinding out a few homers and the crucial insurance run from Abreu’s replacement, while the Marlins kept pressure on with timely hits in scoring positions. Boston’s late framing crumbles, giving Miami life and the series win as the season’s tight divisional race continues, with Boston five games back in the division after Toronto’s Sunday loss.

Fantasy angles spike here: Myers’ power outbreak and Marsee’s late‑game impact highlight the Marlins’ depth in outfield and the potential for surprise power off the bench, especially if Abreu misses time. For Boston, the bullpen shuffle and Chappy’s availability loom large in DFS lineups and weekly forecasts, while Matz’s success against a power‑heavy lineup raises questions about how to attack Miami in future interleague encounters.

Tim Elko had a challenging major league debut with the Chicago White Sox, going 0-for-3 in a tight game against the Miami Marlins. His most significant at-bat came in the seventh inning with a runner on second and two outs, but he was robbed of a hit by Marlins second baseman Javier Sanoja. The Sox ultimately lost 3-1, marking their fifth loss in six games.

The Sox's offense struggled, managing only four hits, including a home run from Andrew Vaughn. Elko joins a team that is currently tied for the worst 40-game start in franchise history at 11-29. Despite his tough debut, Sox manager Will Venable expressed optimism about Elko's potential impact in the lineup, especially given his impressive minor league performance prior to his promotion.
