After 35 games, Luis Castillo’s hitting streak ultimately came to an end, but the night for the All-Star second baseman and his teammates had a happy ending.
On this day 20 years ago, the Florida Marlins erased a three-run deficit in the ninth inning to stun the Detroit Tigers. The Marlins pushed across four runs in the frame for a 5-4 walk-off victory.
Hope seemed lost as the Marlins came to bat in the bottom of the ninth on June 22, 2022 at Pro Player Stadium. The Marlins were on the short end of a 4-1 score as Cliff Floyd flied out to begin the inning against Detroit closer Juan Acevedo.
