Marlins rally past Phils in walk-off fashion

All the odds are still stacked against them, but until they are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, the Marlins are going to enjoy the ride.


They did so on a soggy Wednesday night. Few victories this year felt as sweet as the walk-off effort against the first-place Phillies.

Brett Carroll’s two-out pinch-hit single off Brad Lidge capped a two-run ninth inning that rallied the Marlins to a 7-6 victory in front of 31,042 who sat through a 45-minute rain delay at Land Shark Stadium.

The game, carried nationally on ESPN, was thrilling and featured plenty of drama.

Jorge Cantu, who went 4-for-5, pulled Florida even with a two-out single in the ninth, setting up Carroll’s first career walk-off hit. It was Florida’s 10th walk-off victory and 40th comeback effort of the season.
