While the Fish might have lost the series, that hardly seemed to matter Sunday.

The Miami Marlins and the New York Mets treated baseball fans to dazzling show, with Jose Fernandez piloting his club to a 1-0 victory over Dark Knight Matt Harvey thanks to fourteen scintillating strikeouts. David Phelps and A.J. Ramos manned the final two frames, with Phelps rebounding nicely from a poor Saturday showing and Ramos turning in his strongest effort in weeks to run his save tally to 18.

Obviously, very little offense to report on in a pitcher’s duel such as this one. The Marlins five best hitters did just enough to keep above .300, Giancarlo Stanton did not play, and J.T. Realmuto knocked in the game winning run. Miami outhit New York 5 to 4.

And now we Stat Wrap:

Ichiro Watch: Thirty-four hits away, thanks to a late single. Great story.
The Marlins continue to have five starters hitting .300 or better.
Though Marcell Ozuna is looking to change that with another Oh-for day.
Jose Fernandez tied his personal strikeout record in this one.
He also took over the MLB lead in strikeouts.
And also set a franchise record for most games with ten strikeouts or more.
Harvey’s Line: Tough loss. 7.0 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 3 Ks. So many groundouts….
Derek Dietrich: 2 for 3 day, the lone multi-hit Marlin Sunday.
A.J. Ramos picked up his 18th save of the season.
