Miami Marlins vs Athletics Starting Lineup — Saturday, Jul 4, 2026
Final Lineups
Miami Marlins @ Athletics · Saturday, Jul 4, 2026
Miami’s lineup has very little established history against Aaron Civale. Xavier Edwards is the only batter here with prior MLB exposure, and he is hitless in 3 at-bats, going 0-for-3 in 3 PA with a .000 OPS. Liam Hicks, Kyle Stowers, Otto Lopez, Griffin Conine, Owen Caissie, Jakob Marsee, Joe Mack, and Javier Sanoja have no MLB history vs Civale.
Oakland has one clearly familiar matchup against Sandy Alcantara. Jeff McNeil has gone 12-for-40 in 43 PA against Alcantara, good for a .300 average and .774 OPS, making him the lone hitter in this lineup with a meaningful track record. Nick Kurtz, Zack Gelof, Lawrence Butler, Jonah Heim, Carlos Cortes, Henry Bolte, Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, and Alika Williams have no MLB history vs Alcantara.
The home side has the more familiar hitter versus the opposing starter thanks to McNeil’s extensive sample against Alcantara. Miami, by contrast, is almost entirely seeing Civale for the first time, with only Edwards having faced him before.
