MILWAUKEE -- Finding perspective within the face of adversity isn’t straightforward, however Marlins catcher Jacob Stallings supplied some after Tuesday’s loss to the Brewers.

Miami had misplaced the primary two video games in Milwaukee and had been outscored by 9 runs.

“We’ve been a resilient group all year,” Stallings mentioned. “We’ve had a lot tougher than two bad games in a row. Overcome injury, overcome longer losing streaks, longer tough stretches. I’m pretty confident we’ll come back tomorrow and be better.”

That season-long theme of resiliency confirmed up as soon as once more Wednesday. The Marlins knocked off the Brewers, 2-0, at American Family Field to choose up an enormous win of their push for the postseason.

“It’s big, really big,” mentioned rookie infielder Xavier Edwards, whose RBI single received Miami on the board within the fifth inning. “Every game matters a lot right now. We’re still behind a little bit, so every win matters.”

Starter Braxton Garrett threw six scoreless innings, scattering six baserunners -- 4 hits and two walks -- and struck out seven. David Robertson, Andrew Nardi and Tanner Scott tacked on three extra scoreless innings for a Miami shutout.

Along with Edwards, Bryan De La Cruz and Garrett Hampson teamed up with back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0 within the seventh.

Edwards, Hampson and Garrett teaming up in a key September win might have been surprising six months in the past. Edwards opened the season with Triple-A Jacksonville, had a brief stint within the Majors in May after which was optioned again to the Jumbo Shrimp. He wasn’t recalled once more till Sept. 1.

Hampson, in the meantime, has bounced between the Majors and Triple-A this season. He was recalled late final month for his fourth stint in massive leagues.

“Hampson has been awesome, he really has,” supervisor Skip Schumaker mentioned. “We’ve sent him up and down a couple of times, and he hasn’t batted an eye, really. [Hasn’t] complained at all. Just wore it a couple of times because we had to make moves, and every time we’ve brought him back up, he’s done something. … X, all he’s done up here is hit. He really has, against tough pitching.”

Garrett opened the season within the bullpen and made one reduction look earlier than he was optioned to Jacksonville. He was recalled in the future later, when Johnny Cueto went on the injured checklist on April 4.

The southpaw's contributions this season have been essential for the Marlins, and the numbers again it up. Over 1 / 4 of Miami's wins have come on days Garrett has began, with the Marlins going 20-8 in these video games.

“He gives us a chance to win,” Schumaker mentioned. “That makes a number of sense to me, once I hear that quantity, as a result of we all the time really feel like we’re within the sport. Beginning of the yr, we didn’t actually know [about] third time by means of and that sort of factor, and he possibly struggled a bit third time by means of.

“Now we feel pretty confident third time through of him getting through that part of the order, or middle of the order. … He’s been excellent. Anytime you hear ‘He gives us a chance to win’ from a starter, that’s all you can ask for.”

Garrett has allowed one fewer runs in 15 of his 28 begins, essentially the most amongst Major League starters this yr and the second-most from a lefty in membership historical past. In a career-high 149 2/3 innings, he has posted a 3.67 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP, with 147 strikeouts and simply 27 walks.

“I just harp on my competitiveness,” Garrett mentioned. “I’ve actually realized to belief my stuff within the zone, not being a hard-throwing man with putaway stuff on a regular basis. I've simply been pleased with the boldness that’s grown, the competitiveness and being in these video games late within the season.

“I've never been in a playoff push before. I felt the pressure today, so I think that's awesome. And it felt good to pitch well in a game we felt like we needed to win.”

Hampson spent 5 seasons with the Rockies. As a rookie in 2018 with Colorado, he misplaced within the NLDS to the Brewers.

Five years later and again at American Family Field, he was reminded of that playoff ambiance, as Miami makes its push for October.

“It just feels good to play in those meaningful games,” Hampson mentioned. “I was fist pumping every out late in the game there in center field. It feels awesome to be part of a group that is really fighting to stay alive and fighting for a playoff spot.”
