Despaign-Yay!: Miami Marlins make most of surprise performance

Getting a surprising boost in a spot start situation, the Miami Marlins did well to put it to use. Winning on a sacrifice fly in the 11th inning off the bat of Miguel Rojas, Miami put themselves in position for a sweep on Sunday.

It was a surprisingly effective performance from Odrisamer Despaigne. The Cuban righty might as well have had a reflective orange vest for most of the year; there has been a lot of traffic on the base paths when he was on the mound. On Saturday, he brought barricades.
