Tanner Scott seals Marlins win; power-hitting prospects homer again

On Tuesday, Tim Anderson and Otto Lopez each helped manufacture crucial runs with aggressive baserunning. Tanner Scott retired the final six Mets batters in order for his eighth save of the season. Scott has not allowed a run since April! The Marlins won, 4-2. Despite the lack of scoring and prolonged delays, the 2:50 time of game was tied for fifth-longest for a non-extra-inning game Marlins this season.

Down on the farm, Triple-A Jacksonville won, 2-1. OF Griffin Conine did it again, homering for the fifth consecutive game and the 14th time this season. RHP Kyle Tyler went six scoreless innings for the second straight start. 1B Troy Johnston (FOF #13 prospect) had the go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and reacted with the delightfully awkward bat toss shown below. RHP Anthony Maldonado (FOF #17) retired the final five Indianapolis batters to secure the victory. Double-A Pensacola won, 3-1. C Joe Mack (FOF #25) did it again, homering for the sixth time in his last nine games. High-A Beloit lost, 6-5. FOF #11 prospect RHP Jacob Miller (6.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 11 K, 94 pitches/60 strikes) set a new career high in strikeouts. Low-A Jupiter won, 11-10. Seven different Hammerheads recorded multi-hit games. In the first installment of the 2024 Dominican Summer League Civil War, DSL Miami beat DSL Marlins, 7-4. Dominance from RHP Yohanfer Santana (3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K).
