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.
