Rays continue recent dominance over Marlins

Isaac Paredes doubled twice and drove in three runs as the visiting Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Wednesday night. Since 2019, the Rays are 23-3 against the Marlins, including a two-game mini-sweep in this week's series. Tampa Bay starter Zach Eflin, who had been out due to back inflammation, pitched for the first time since May 18, allowing two runs on three hits. As a precaution, Eflin was lifted after four innings even though he retired the last 10 batters he faced.
