Despite seeing their second-longest win streak of the season come to a halt, the four consecutive wins coming into Sunday — and the 21-11 record since June 13 — breathed life into a Marlins’ organization that feels they have enough to make a run in the second half of the season.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Royals: Kris Bubic (7-6, 2.48 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 113 strikeouts); Marlins: Janson Junk (4-1, 2.68 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 38 strikeouts)

Shortstop Otto Lopez drove in all three runs as the host Miami Marlins won again, defeating the Kansas City Royals, 3-1, on Saturday afternoon.
