It’s looking like the Marlins absolutely robbed the Diamondbacks in the trade for Starling Marte.
On a night where Miami was itching for a clutch hit, Marte erased a three-run deficit with a bases-clearing, game-tying double in the eighth inning to knot the score at six runs apiece in the eighth inning before Jorge Alfaro played ninth inning hero with a walk off single to give the Marlins a 7-6 victory Thursday night. The win moves the Fish back over .500 at 20-19 and and inches Miami to just a half game behind Philadelphia for second in the NL East.
