Marlins blow sizable early lead, lose on walk-off

The Marlins took a large lead early on against the Milwaukee Brewers, but they failed to hold on to it, as they fell in a fitting fashion: on a walk-off home run. Jesus Aguilar, who came in as a late-inning substitution, hit a homer in the 9th off Junichi Tazawa, to give Milwaukee a 6-5 victory, and it also gave them the win in this series.

The Marlins got off to a quick start in the very first inning, when Derek Dietrich homered, giving Miami a 1-0 lead.
