We´ve made an important trade before the start of the week. Jonathan Loaisga and Melky Cabrera were traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for Adam Eaton (65 % retain), Jhon Romero (RP), Tanner Rainey (CL) and minor leaguer 2B Glenn Santiago

We opened the 16th week of the season with a home series against the Brewers. We dropped game one thanks to a bad outing by our starter Zac Gallen. He only pitched 2 innings and allowed 6 earned runs in 7 hits and 2 homers. Sandy Alcantara and Riley Ferrell also struggled in relief and gave up 2 runs each. Tanner Rainey made his debut in a Marlins uniform and threw 1.1 clean innings. Adam Eaton also played for the first time with the team and went 2 for 5 with a double and an RBI. Scooter Gennett went deep in the first inning against Amari Corothers.

We´ve lost the second game in a row. This time the starter, Keuchel, had a decent outing as he went 7 innings allowing only 3 runs. Bautista couldn't hold the opposing team and gave up the decisive run on the top of the 8th. He was credited with the loss. James McCann had a good game as he went 2 for 3 with a couple of RBI´s.

League news: Craig Stammen was traded from Arizona to the Diamondbacks. Carl Edwards Jr was traded from the Cubs to the Astros.
Zack Wheeler was traded from the Nationals to the Blue Jays in exchange for minor leaguers Resse McGuire and Warnel Valdez.

It was an awful home series as we were swept at home. Our pitching staff couldn't figure out the Brewers offense and we gave up 9 runs in this game. Yamamoto suffered in the first innings and gave up 3 runs. Julio Urias and Tommy Eveld also gave up 3 runs. Scooter Gennett had another homer and he might be featured in the all-star game.

Some roster moves. Austin Slater was demoted to AAA as Victor Victor Mesa has fully recovered from his injury.

Another shutout loss. This time it was against the Philadelphia Phillies at home. Martin Perez went seven innings and gave up 3 earned runs. Zack Houston and Riley Ferrell delivered 2 clean innings but the offense went quiet. Vince Velasquez has a great game for the Phillies.

We managed to win in the second game of the series and snap out of a 6 game losing streak. Caleb Smith had a quality outing by going 6 innings and allowing 2 runs. In spite of Tommy Eveld struggles, he gave up 2 runs in the seventh, the team rallied behind him and got an 8 to 5 win. Mike Ford had a homer, his eleventh of the year.

We finished one of our most disappointing weeks of the season with a loss. It was a one-run defeat as Julio Urias gave up 3 runs in the top of the ninth giving up a 2 run lead. Zac Gallen had a good game and Rio Ruiz had his 9th homer of the year.

League news: McNeil was traded from the Mets to the O´s. Marcus Semien was traded from the Red Sox´s to the Tigers.
