Astros vs. Marlins Game Highlights (8/4/25) | MLB Highlights

The Marlins have won six straight series for the first time since 1997. The Houston Astros are in town tonight who lost eight of 10 and they just played five runs in three games at Fenway over the weekend, sanchez is going to have all the fields today as he was playing in this ballpark. Not that long ago, he was traded in this last week. Of course, come out, done a nice job for the Astros on the mound for the Marlins tonight. It is the 29 year old right hander Sandy Altra. Last couple of starts with Sandy. He has looked, the part looked very much like he did a couple of years ago when he won a Cy Young in his first career start against the Houston Astros tonight. The first ball is put in the play in play deep to center field. Jacob Marcy’s got one pitch in one out. Here comes Jesus Sanchez. What a terrific long career he had with the Miami Marlins played 532 games. He was the longest tenured Miami Marlin here he comes. Welcome back, Jesus. He’s always got that huge smile on his face one two coming in the air to right going back is myers. He’s got it two away for Sandy here in the first ripped to third Paul, he’s got it. Snags a 123 top of the first inning for San and there he is Jason Alexander getting another start for the shows. It will be his fourth on the season. All of those coming with Houston and there are two outs. Augustin Ramirez ground ball up the middle. Altuve backhands it and in and out of his glove, Jose Altuve to the left of second base trying to backhand that ball and he got leather on it but couldn’t secure it. And Ramirez reaches first base safely and Augustine will certainly take it. So here’s Liam Hicks hit to right. Cam smith will back up a few steps and put it away. A field hit one man left on base. We head to the second, an eight pitch top of the first for sandy Al Contra. 2 to 2 coming. This is in the air deep down the left field line stoer into the corner. He’s got it one away here in the second four up and four down for Sandy now, 3 to 1 and is banged down the line to right Myers making his 10th start in right field has got it five up and five down for Sandy. The Astros are hitting the ball hard. Guini hitting 267 this season. 10 homers, 36 runs driven in. He was four for five in Boston over the weekend and there’s a line drive, it’s caught by Otto and the retired another 123 innings for Contra after 1.5 Astros nothing Marlins Jason Alexander getting it done here in Miami as he is now faced seven batters and not allowed to hit walk through two innings in Miami Astros, nothing Marlins in the top of the third inning in Miami Astros looking for the first base are still, they’ve hit the ball hard. A 1 to 0 grounded to shore piece of cake for Mr Lopez one away. Three, two swings and misses 99 to the top rail. Santra blows it by the eight hitter for Houston that his first punch out tonight and there are two men going. Here’s a homecoming for Cam and he grounds one softly to third Paul. He’s got a hurry. Sandy’s gone nine up nine down. First time throw. Scoreless Jason Alexander back out there for the Astros. No score bottom of the third inning in Miami, the first pitch from Alexander is popped up down the right field line, one pitch one away. Here in the third inning. Here’s Graham Pauley who’s hitting 229 in 14 starts in 15 appearances and that’s a fair ball over the bag at first, rolling down the right field line into the corner. He’s got a one out double. It’s the first hit for either side tonight and it comes with one away in the bottom of the third. And that will be that for the Marlins here in the third inning , a runner in scoring position. But go to the fourth inning in Miami. It’s the Astros, nothing, the Marlins, nothing. He certainly has his stuff coming back. You see this, Jake, it’s a and he’s gone through three innings , like tonight’s special for us without giving up a hit. And if you’re sitting on your couch and you’re rolling your eyes and we just ran that graphic, a no hitter alert. I can’t believe we’re doing that. That’s so stupid. Why would you even mention it if you think that we’re impacting Sandy Contra in Secaucus New Jersey man therapy is not that expensive. Look, you think he’s gonna give up a hit? I’m telling you, I watched you enough, man. I’m sick sitting on your couch and you don’t get back no hitters. You don’t know what you’re talking about the night for the Astros. Well, we mentioned the Astros have been hitting the ball hard off Altra but right at people finally able to get one to drop. So a man in scoring position, here’s sanchez, that ball hit hard by sanchez. That’s going to be a first run of the game for the Astros Jesus Sanchez against his former team. His first as double is against his former team. It’s one. Sanchez comes home and delivers the R B I showing the Marlins what they’re missing. Sanchez an RB I double his 14th double of the season. Here’s altuve curveball. It’s a bunt down the third base line barehanded by Paul and he falls down and altuve makes it runners on 1st and 3rd. Here’s Correa is ready. Altuve goes, here’s the pitch. It’s a strike sliding in altuve swipes his seventh bag of the season and the Astros have two men in scoring position. Contra out of the stretch. Here’s the pitch and that’s a liner left field and that is going to get down for a base hit. Sanchez will score and it’s a two nothing ball game RB I single for Carlos Correa. That’s the fourth consecutive hit to open up the inning for the Astros and they lead two nothing Sandy’s stuff is better than giving up four consecutive hits. He needs to make an adjustment because the Houston Astros obviously have made an adjustment against him. Walker will be swinging at the very first pitch as well. If he gets a strike from sandy, something that he’s looking for , there’s a ground ball to the right side, they glove it, they go to second for one and the ball is bobbled. They do get the out there but a run scores. It’ll be an RB I fielder’s choice for Walkers. Now, three game walker on first base one away for victor Caratini. Caratini hits it sharply that’s through for a base hit Astros have no hits in nine at bats coming into this inning. Now have five hits in the inning against six at bats. Astros lead three nothing man. If Diaz could pop walker on second. Caratini on first. Here’s the 12 and that’s pulled and that’s a fair ball into left field. She goes, Walker will score Caratini into third base. Here comes Caratini and he’s going to make it and it’s a two run double for Janer Diaz and it’s 5 to 0 matching the run total in the last three games scoring five. Here in the fourth inning. The Astros getting after Sandy Alcantara, we quickly venture into the bottom of the sixth inning. Marlins are trailing the Astros five to the Marlins have all of one hit tonight. Alexander has had his way from the get go with the fish, a two out rally building for the Marlins here in the sixth. They have the bases loaded with two out and we well documented all year long that the Marlins didn’t do their best work after two were out. They have scored a lot of runs this year after two were out and they got a really good guy in the batter’s box right now and Lopez full ground ball to short and the Astros will strand the bases loaded. Alexander ends up with six shutout innings. We head to the seventh Astros five Marlins nothing smith aboard at first on the leadoff single. Now, here’s Jeremy Pena. Here’s the 11 quick pitch and it’s pulled down the left field line. That’s a base hit, probably a pair to third bases game. They’re going to send him here we go with the relay throw and he save six on the RB I double by Jeremy. You go to the bottom of the seventh six used to the lefty, one of five in the bullpen for joe. It will be Brian King. So is the pinch hit for Jacob and he blasts one in the air to left field and deep sanchez going back looking up and gone away. He might be in there tomorrow. He better be in there tomorrow. He did it in front of his idol, Jose Altuve and it cut right into his happy zone. He barreled it up, head down. He knew it was gone as soon as he hit it. Just a terrific swing by J Arse. No. And here is Derek Hill who’s come off the injured list today as Hill lays into one, he hits it in the air to deep to left field. Sanchez is going back at the wall and this is gone back to back, pinch hit home runs for the Marlins here in the seventh. Welcome back De Hill. That’s got to feel good. His third of the season 6 to 2, a little breaking ball here and thrown by King and de Hale gets out in front of it. He catches it just right 37 6 to two. Houston under way in the eighth inning with a new Marlins pitcher Gibson is going to be that lefty coming out of the pen for the Marlins. So Caratini at second base two outs. Now mauricio Dub-n is going to hit for Taylor Trimel and that’s line down the left field line hooking and it’s a fair ball just inside the chalk and it bounds down into the corner. Caratini scores Dub-n trades places with them at second an RB I double for the pinch hit Mauricio Dub-n 7 to 2 Astros. Now, Cam Smith in single and a run scored his last time that ball into the right center field dropping coming on the right fielder myers with a diving Astros get another run. Cam Smith will end up with an RB I number 46 on the year diving attempt by Dane Myers and couldn’t keep it in his glove eight to two here in the bottom of the ninth, one more quality pitched from Neris and the Astros can enjoy 1/6 consecutive win against the Marlins swing and a Miss Wagman strikes out on the splitter and that is the ball game Astros, a three game skid taking game one in Miami winning 8 to 2.
