The Miami Marlins faced a challenging game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, suffering a 10-4 loss on Tuesday. Starting pitcher Connor Gillispie struggled, conceding two home runs as part of an overall poor defensive showing, despite the team's strong record of limiting home runs earlier in the season. With injuries to key players, Gillispie has regularly found himself in the lineup and now holds a 5.68 ERA. Though the Marlins fought back with some effective batting in the late innings, their inability to convert potential scoring chances ultimately sealed their defeat.
Through 16 games this season, Marlins starting pitchers have given up just seven home runs - tied for the third-fewest in MLB - over 75 innings.
Gillispie, who broke camp in the Marlins' rotation due to injuries, has given up four of those seven home runs across his four starts.
Catcher Liam Hicks broke up the Marlins' shutout with an RBI groundout in the second and added an RBI double in the seventh inning.
Miami tried to string together a late rally but Eric Wagaman struck out swinging to end the threat, despite loading the bases.
