John Mayberry hot two extra inning home runs.  Even Dominic Brown is impressed.

The rankest of relief performances happened tonight.  You can’t get much worse than walking off and winning by 4 runs.  there is only one way to do that.  Load up the bases and hit a home run.  You need an assist form a late inning reliever and tonight Edgar Olmos provided that.  Olmos didn’t even give up a hit except for the final bomb shot.  See below:

RR 6.4 - 2

An error, sacrifice and two walks later, Olmos was giving up a grand slam on a 1-1 fastball.  Neither of these teams is going to make the playoffs or contend, so it probably doesn’t really matter, but I’m guessing the morale in Miami can’t get much lower.
