It wasn’t how Saturday night was supposed to go for the Miami Marlins. Fresh off the most dramatic come-from-behind win in recent history in a 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night, the team sunk back into the abyss of losing, falling 9-3 to their National League East rivals at Marlins Park.
The Marlins are now 46-82 for the season and have guaranteed another losing season for the beleaguered franchise. The last time Miami had a winning record was 2009 at 87-75. For those counting at home, this is now 10 seasons of futility.
