Marlins bullpen implodes in epic meltdown in brutal loss to Red Sox
There was a time not long ago when the bullpen for the Marlins wasn’t half bad.
On Wednesday, it was brutally bad.
In one of the single-worst innings in Marlins history, a bloodbath of a seventh at Fenway Park in which the Red Sox sent 15 men to the plate, four Marlins relievers combined to allow 11 runs on 12 hits, turning what was a 5-3 Marlins lead into an eventual 14-6 loss.
It was the second-most runs ever surrendered by the Marlins in a single inning, falling three runs shy of the mark set here on June 27, 2003, when the Marlins gave up 14 runs to the Red Sox in the first inning. That Marlins team went on to win the World Series. This last-place Marlins team just needs the season to end.
