Heading into extra innings, the Florida Marlins did something they have done many times this year — they pulled out the victory. In the top of the 11th, Jeremy Hermida hit a three-run bomb to put the Marlins up for good by a final count of 9-6.
With the win, the Marlins are now 10-1 on the season. That marks the best start in franchise history after 11 games.
The team that took the loss on Saturday isn’t new to the loss column. The Washington Nationals are now 1-9 after ten games.
The Nationals actually appeared to be heading to a victory with a 6-3 lead going into the ninth inning. But after the Marlins got within 6-4, Hermida hit a two-run blast to tie the game.
On the game, Hermida was 3-for-6 with three runs and five RBI. He entered the game with only one homer and three RBIs.
