There have been several recent walk-off wins for the Miami Marlins in 2019, but nothing quite as epic as what happened on this day five years ago. On July 28, 2014, the Washington Nationals led 6-0 during the seventh-inning stretch before watching that lead evaporate in a dramatic 7-6 win for the Fish, capped with a four-run ninth.
The Marlins were 51-53 when they hosted the first-placeNationals in the first game of a three-game set. For much of the evening at Marlins Park, it was a pitchers’ duel. A sacrifice fly for Adam LaRoche had accounted for the only run through five innings before Washington seemingly blew things open with five runs in the sixth.
