The Miami Marlins have extended their losing streak to nine games after a 3-1 defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals, marking a challenging start to the 2024 MLB season. The team previously frittered away a 4-1 lead, ultimately losing 8-5 to the Cardinals, worsening their record to 0-9. Despite home runs from Jake Burger and Bell in that loss, the Marlins have been unable to secure a win, now standing as the only winless team in the MLB. This streak is the worst start for the team since the 1997 Chicago Cubs began their season 0-14. The Marlins' performance has sparked discussions about a potential trade deadline selloff, as injuries have impacted their young starting pitching lineup. Jake Burger's notable two-home run performance in the loss highlighted his value to the team, despite the disappointing start to the season.
