Jakob Marsee staged a career night for the Miami Marlins, collecting four hits, including two home runs and a double, while driving in seven in a 13-4 drubbing of the Cleveland Guardians. The first-inning burst featured a three-run homer that kick-started the scoring, followed by a go-ahead two-run shot in the fifth and a sixth-inning two-run double that padded the lead. It was his first 4-hit game and first multi-homer effort, underscoring a season where he’s already batting .436 with three homers and 13 RBIs. The night also highlighted Xavier Edwards’s early spark and Eury Pérez’s win, with Cleveland’s Gavin Williams saddled by a rough start as Miami’s lineup exploded behind a bullpen that ceded nine runs after three innings. Marsee, a Dearborn, Michigan native and Central Michigan alum, debuted Aug. 1 against the Yankees and has hits in 10 of his first 13 games, signaling a potential breakout spark for Miami.

Edwards helped ignite the rally to start the night, while Pérez steadied Miami on the mound to secure the win. Cleveland mixed in a rough run of outs and misplays as the Marlins continued to surge, turning a midseason stretch into a moment of promise for a club counting on its young core. The performance reinforced Marlins fans’ optimism about a young nucleus that could keep producing when the lineup stacks up well and the confidence within the clubhouse remains high.
