The Miami Marlins have played well of late, and it's showing in the attendance of their fans. The Marlins had 46,953 fans in attendance over the weekend, marking their third-highest total of the season.
It was the Marlins' second-most attended home series, excluding their season-opening series. Their series against the Atlanta Braves from June 20-22 was the most attended, with 49,838 fans.
Since June 13th, the Marlins have the second-best record in the MLB at 21-11. They have scored 159 runs during this stretch, which is the sixth most in the league.
Rising star Kyle Stowers has been a leader for the Marlins on this run. On the season, Stowers is slashing .295/.372/.559 with 21 home runs, 59 RBIs, and a .930 OPS. He was named an All-Star for his breakout campaign.
Stowers was acquired by the Marlins at the 2024 trade deadline along with Connor Norby in a deal that sent Trevor Rogers to the Baltimore Orioles.
With their recent surge, Miami sits at 46-52 and in third place in the NL East. The Marlins may be sellers at the trade deadline, but their play of late is bringing fans back to the ballpark.
