Marlins Blank Red Sox, End Five-Game Streak

5 sourcesUpdated Aug 27, 2026

Ryan Gusto shined for the Marlins, delivering 5.2 shutout innings and earning his first win with Miami as he limited the Red Sox to four hits. Javier Sanoja collected three hits and drove in a run to help Miami seize a 4-0 victory and avoid a series sweep. The Marlins struck early, with Heriberto Hernández driving in a run and Otto López stealing two bases and scoring twice, including a second-inning run after a throwing error by the catcher. Boston starter Sonny Gray, seeking his 17th win, allowed two runs over five innings as the Red Sox committed four errors in the defeat. Miami relievers combined to finish the shutout, with Janson Junk and Dax Fulton each contributing an inning and Victor Vodnik working in relief earlier. The loss snapped Boston’s five-game winning streak and left the Red Sox to prepare for a future series, while Gusto’s strong performance continued a productive stretch for him this season.

Rookie outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt delivered a walk-off two-run homer as a pinch hitter in the ninth to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Chicago Cubs, making him the first rookie to hit two walk-off homers while trailing in the same calendar month. The win capped a four-run rally and highlighted the D-backs’ season of dramatic comebacks, with Waldschmidt’s late heroics following an earlier walk-off against the Dodgers and contributing to a broader momentum for the club.
