There was a time not long ago when the bullpen for the Marlins wasn’t half bad.
On Wednesday, it was brutally bad.
In one of the single-worst innings in Marlins history, a bloodbath of a seventh at Fenway Park in which the Red Sox sent 15 men to the plate, four Marlins relievers combined to allow 11 runs on 12 hits, turning what was a 5-3 Marlins lead into an eventual 14-6 loss.
It was the second-most runs ever surrendered by the Marlins in a single inning, falling three runs shy of the mark set here on June 27, 2003, when the Marlins gave up 14 runs to the Red Sox in the first inning.
