Texas Rangers at Miami Marlins: Final Score & Recap

The Texas Rangers handed the Miami Marlins a 7-0 shutout on June 1, 2024, at loanDepot park, improving their stranglehold on the game from the third inning onward. The DiamondIQ model's estimate had Miami entering with a 41 percent win probability, but that figure eroded steadily and closed at zero percent by the final out, a reflection of how thoroughly Texas controlled the contest across all nine innings.

The decisive moment came in the third inning when Robbie Grossman doubled off Ryan Weathers, a swing that shifted win probability by plus 13.4 percent and opened the scoring in what became a two-run frame. Weathers continued to be tested in the fourth, where Josh Smith added a single that moved the needle another plus 6.1 percent in Texas's favor, extending the Rangers' cushion to four runs through that point in the game. Miami's best chance to generate any life came in the sixth inning, when Josh Bell drew a walk off Michael Lorenzen for a plus 4.0 percent swing, but that opportunity evaporated immediately when Jake Burger grounded into a double play, a minus 4.5 percent reversal that effectively ended any realistic Marlins rally.

On the individual ledger, Grossman finished as the game's top offensive contributor with a plus 12.5 percent WPA and plus 1.8 RE24, while Smith posted plus 6.2 percent WPA and Andrew Knizner added plus 5.4 percent WPA. The most dominant performance of the night, however, belonged to Michael Lorenzen on the mound, where he accumulated plus 19.1 percent WPA to lead all pitchers, with José Leclerc and Anthony Bender providing tidy relief work behind him. Texas finished with 13 hits and zero errors to Miami's seven hits and one error, a clean execution that matched the lopsided final score.
