5-year Marliniversary: Yelich and Stanton go back-to-back in eighth to push Marlins past Mets

The 2017 Miami Marlins had outfielders who won National League MVP in consecutive seasons.

In 2017, Giancarlo Stanton would become the first and only Marlin to ever win the honor. The following season, Christian Yelich duplicated the feat as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.

On this day five years ago, those two came up clutch for Miami. The two hit back-to-back home runs during a three-run eighth as the Marlins rallied to beat the New York Mets, 5-4.

Miami was on the short end of a 4-2 score as it came to bat in the bottom of the eighth on April 15, 2017.
