After doubleheader sweep, Marlins’ scoring struggles hit point MLB hasn’t seen in over 40 years

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins lost both games of their doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday at loanDepot park, falling 5-2 in the first game and 6-2 in the nightcap.

With that, Miami’s scoring woes have reached a point not seen in more than 40 years.

The Marlins (50-64) have scored three runs or fewer in 14 consecutive games, the longest streak in MLB since the Chicago Cubs went 15 games without scoring at least four runs from Sept. 11-24, 1979. The last time Miami scored at least four runs in a game was July 29 in a loss to the New York Mets.
