The San Diego Padres completed a sweep of the Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon with a 5-3 victory, extending the Marlins' losing streak to a franchise-record 12 games. This marks the longest losing streak in club history, surpassing previous 11-game stretches in June 2011 and multiple instances in 1998. Miami has not secured a win since June 9.

In Sunday's game, the Padres rallied in the eighth inning after trailing early. Manny Machado tied the game with a two-run homer, followed by Jackson Merrill's go-ahead solo shot. Luis Rengifo added an RBI double. The Marlins had taken a 3-1 lead on a homer by Kyle Stowers and runs scored by Liam Hicks and Griffin Conine. Reliever Lake Bachar (1-2) took the loss for Miami.

The Padres' bullpen secured the win, with Wandy Peralta (2-2) earning the victory and Mason Miller notching his 27th save. Marlins pitcher Michael Petersen exited with a forearm contusion after Janson Junk started for Miami, allowing one run and seven hits over his outing. The attendance for the game was 21,675.
