The Fourth of July is a day where most Americans enjoy time with friends, family and watch fireworks. Historically, the day has not always been kind to the Florida/Miami Marlins.
In 1993, Matt Turner infamously balked in the winning run in a loss to the Atlanta Braves. In 2008, the Marlins squandered a nine-run lead at Coors Field in an 18-17 loss to the Colorado Rockies. In 2016, the Marlins let a six-run lead fall by the wayside in an 8-6 loss to the New York Mets.
On this day 10 years ago however, the fortunes were reversed.
