Appearing in nine different Major League Baseball seasons, Donnie Murphy never played in more than 52 games during any campaign. But for about a month-long period in 2010, Murphy developed a flare for the timely hit as a member of the Florida Marlins.
Murphy hit just three home runs that season and only eight in three seasons as a member of the Marlins. The most notable of those came on this day a decade ago—July 19, 2010—as Murphy’s walk-off two-run home lifted the Marlins past the Colorado Rockies, 9-8.
Down 2-0, the Marlins pushed across three runs in the third inning.
