JUPITER Jeff Locke and Luis Perdomo were the last two pitchers to go the distance at Marlins Park.
Nine innings. Complete games. The 2016 season.
“It’s probably one of the games I’ll never forget,” Locke said. “It’s something special, to finish something you started.”
Locke is a Marlin now. But he wasn’t then. Neither was Perdomo. And therein lies the story.
No Marlins pitcher has thrown a complete game anywhere — either at home or on the road — in nearly three years. The last to do so was Henderson Alvarez on June 3, 2014.
