The Marlins edged the Kansas City Roses 7-6 on Tuesday evening in a regular-season MLB matchup. The result completed a three-game sweep for Miami over their American League counterparts. It followed yesterday's 6-3 victory by the visiting side.
The Roses had looked to be building momentum after a 13-2 win over Toronto on Monday. Instead they found themselves on the wrong end of another high-scoring affair. The pattern of late-game struggles continued for the home side.
Miami's offence proved decisive once again. They had already put the result beyond doubt with yesterday's 6-3 win. The visitors kept their nerve in what turned out to be a tight contest.
The Roses lost three of their last five games heading into this fixture. A 13-2 demolition of Toronto had briefly interrupted that run. But the form against divisional rivals remained inconsistent.
Miami came into the game off a 6-3 win over Kansas City the previous day. They have now beaten the Roses in consecutive meetings. The visitors ended a barren spell against their opponents.
