\n\tOne of the youngest franchises in baseball, the Miami Marlins haven\u2019t been a part of many \u201cfirsts\u201d throughout Major League Baseball history. On this day, however, they did become the first team to win a sporting event on an active U.S. military base.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tOn July 3, 2016, the Marlins drew the eyes on a nationally television audience for ESPN\u2019s Sunday Night Baseball. The result was a 5-2 win over the Atlanta Braves at Fort Bragg Park on the U.S. base in North Carolina.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tFor four innings, Miami\u2019s Adam Conley and Atlanta\u2019s Matt Wisler traded zeroes. The Marlins finally broke through in the top of the fifth. After Adeiny\u00a0Hechavarr\u00eda tripled on the first pitch of the inning, he came home for the first run on J.T. Realmuto\u2019s RBI single. Realmuto, Mart\u00edn\u00a0Prado and Christian Yelich put together three straight singles to push the lead to 2-0.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tConley capped his stellar start by working a 1-2-3 sixth inning. The Miami lefty allowed just four hits and one walk in six shutout innings to pick up the win.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Marlins added insurance runs over the next three innings. Prado singled home Realmuto in the seventh before Giancarlo Stanton tripled to lead off the eighth and scored on a Derek Dietrich sacrifice fly to push the lead to 4-0. Realmuto capped a three-hit, three-run, two-RBI night with a solo home run to lead off the ninth.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tAfter scoreless innings each from Marlins relievers David Phelps and Fernando Rodney, the Braves were able to break up the shutout with two runs off Miami close AJ Ramos in the ninth. Erick Aybar doubled in the first run before A.J.\u00a0Pierzynski\u2019s sacrifice fly scored Jeff\u00a0Francoeur.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Marlins finished with 13 hits in the win to just five for Atlanta. Freddie Freeman and Aybar each had two hits for the Braves. At the top of the Marlins\u2019 order, Realmuto, Prado and Yelich each had three hits. Hechavarr\u00eda added two.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe 5-2 triumph gave the Marlins the series victory. In addition to being the first sporting event ever played on an active U.S. military base, it was also the first MLB game played in the state of North Carolina. It ended in a Marlins victory on this day a decade ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the youngest franchises in baseball, the Miami Marlins haven\u2019t been a part of many \u201cfirsts\u201d throughout…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":741971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2394],"tags":[191,46,4166,5,192,92201,58,4],"class_list":["post-741970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-atlanta-braves","tag-atlanta","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-atlantabraves","tag-baseball","tag-braves","tag-fort-bragg","tag-miami-marlins","tag-mlb"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/741971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
