Derek Bell didn’t make a throw as Rentería and Sheffield came around to score and give Florida the walk-off win. With a 1-2 count, Wagner hung a breaking ball and Alou was able to line it to right for a hit. With the bases loaded and one out, Alou stepped to the plate needing only a flyball to tie the game.
Bobby Bonilla flied out to shallow center, but Wagner followed that with a walk to Jeff Conine. In terms of the player rankings, BAs list is pretty similar to the Baseball Prospectus one I posted recently. They need to build on that success and not dwell on the catastrophic flops like Victor Victor Mesa.
#Marlins at pro player stadium free#
After walking Edgar Rentería on a 3-2 pitch, Wagner allowed a single to Gary Sheffield to put two on. I wish the Marlins would continue to be active in the international free agent market, because Perez holds a lot of promise. Wagner entered the contest with an ERA below two, but fell into immediate trouble. The task for the Marlins was tall as Houston closer and hard-throwing lefty Billy Wagner came to the mound to try to close it out. His two-run single in the ninth inning rallied the Marlins past the Houston Astros, 6-5.įlorida trailed 5-4 as it came to bat in the bottom of the ninth at Pro Player Stadium on Aug. His first walk-off base hit as a member of the club came on this day 25 years ago. One of the club’s postseason heroes, Alou led the Marlins with 23 home runs and 115 RBIs in 1997 while batting.
Moises Alou spent just one season as a member of the Florida Marlins, but he made the most of it.
