The 2017 season didn’t start the way that the Miami Marlins wanted it to, but their first series of the season had a happy ending. On this day five years ago, Miami got its first win by tying the game in the ninth before winning it in the 10th on Justin Bour’s RBI double.
The Marlins were trying to avoid the three-game sweep against the Washington Nationals as the teams squared off at Nationals Park on April 6, 2017. Miami was down to its last out, but rallied for a 4-3 extra-inning victory.
Miami had drawn even at 2-2 in the top of the eighth on J.
