HOUSTON — The Miami Marlins’ chance for a series sweep against one of MLB’s top teams this season fell short.
Bryan De La Cruz’s three-run home run in the seventh got them close, but the Marlins dropped their series finale against the Houston Astros 9-4 on Sunday at Minute Maid Park.
Miami (27-31) won the first two games of the series by scores of 7-4 on Friday and 5-1 on Saturday. The loss snapped the team’s five-game win streak. Houston improves to 37-23.
