5-year Marliniversary: Hechavarría’s walk-off blast lifts Miami past Padres

In his four-plus seasons as a member of the Miami Marlins, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarría was known more for his glove than his bat.

During the 2015 season, however, Hechavarría had some magic moments with the bat. Although he hit just six home runs that season, two were game-winners. His only walk-off came on Aug. 2, 2015 in a 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.

Prior to a ninth inning that saw the teams combine for five runs, all the scoring had come in the bottom of the first. After an RBI double by Miguel Rojas scored Ichiro Suzuki, Rojas came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Derek Dietrich.
