The Miami Marlins fell to the Milwaukee Brewers by a final score of 14-5 on Sunday to end their winning streak.
The Marlins had won a season-high seven games in a row prior to Sunday's loss. Miami was one win away from tying the franchise record for road wins in a row. Even with this loss, the Marlins ended up going 7-3 on the ten game road trip. Miami is .500 on the season and in fourth place in the National League East.
Tom Koehler started the series finale and had a rough time. The right-hander allowed 8 runs in 2.1 innings. Koehler walked two and allowed eight hits while compiling zero strikeouts. Koehler's E.R.A is now 7.25 on the season to go with a 2-3 record.
Cody Ege came in to relieve Koehler and allowed all of the right-hander's inherited runners to score. Ege had a rough time on the mound as he also allowed three runs of his own. The lefty gave up a walk and six hits in 1.2 innings and could end up returning to the minor leagues soon.
Marcell Ozuna homered for the second day in a row and now has four this season. Derek Dietrich continued to fill in for Dee Gordon admirably with a two-hit day which included his second triple of the season.
Miami is off on Monday before starting a series at home on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Justin Nicolino is scheduled to be on the mound for the series opener.
