Two of Major League Baseball’s newest franchises, the Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays have met more than 130 times. The Rays have had the upper hand in the all-time series, but the biggest comeback in the instate rivalry belongs to the Marlins.
That comeback came on this day 15 years ago as the then Florida Marlins erased a six-run deficit with 12 unanswered runs to stun the then Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Dolphin Stadium, 14-8.
The Marlins were on the short end of an 8-2 score as the contest hit the midway point on June 8, 2007.
