Marlins Cover Rockies

     The Miami Marlins pulled off a shocking ninth-inning comeback over the Colorado Rockies 9-8 on Tuesday night at Coors Field. The Marlins have been victorious in three of their last 12 games. 

     Marlins pitcher Mike Baumann played for his fifth team in the majors this year when he entered the contest in the sixth inning. He tied a Major League Baseball record set by Oliver Drake back in 2018. 

     Colorado(49-84) rocketed out to the lead during the first inning with four runs. They added two more runs in the bottom of the second and led 6-0. 

     Miami(48-84) would chip away at the six-run margin. The Fish collected one run in the third, one run in the fourth and two runs in the sixth to trail 6-4. The Rockies bounced back two runs in the bottom of the sixth for an 8-4 advantage. 

     The Marlins shockingly scored five runs in the ninth inning to take a 9-8 lead. Jesus Sanchez capped the rally with a three-run homer to right-center field on the first pitch with Connor Norby and Derek Hill aboard. It was the 17th home run for Sanchez in the 2024 campaign.
