\n\tOver five seasons as a member of the Miami Marlins,\u00a0Mart\u00edn Prado<\/a> hit just 22 home runs. His lone extra-innings shot came on this day 10 years ago.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the Marlins scored two runs in the ninth to force extra innings, Prado played the role of hero. His solo home run in the top of the 11th propelled Miami past the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-2.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThrough eight innings at Citizens Bank Park on July 18, 2016<\/a>, Miami had managed just two hits and was on the short end of a 2-0 score. Looking to close it out, the Phillies turned to right-hander Jeanmar\u00a0G\u00f3mez.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tG\u00f3mez began the night by getting Ichiro Suzuki<\/a> to ground back to the mound. After a single by J.T. Realmuto<\/a>, G\u00f3mez struck out Prado on just three pitches for the second out. On the very next pitch, Christian Yelich<\/a> broke up the shutout with an RBI double.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tYelich would go to third on a wild pitch as Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> walked. Marcell Ozuna<\/a> followed with the game-tying RBI single but pinch runner Yefri\u00a0P\u00e9rez was thrown out at third base to end the threat. With the score now tied 2-2, the contest went to extras.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Fernando\u00a0Rodney worked a scoreless ninth for the Marlins, both teams left runners in scoring position in the 10th. Lefty Brett\u00a0Oberholtzer entered the contest for the Phillies in the top of the 11th. Leading off the inning for Miami was Prado.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo that point, Prado was 0-for-4. After taking two pitches for balls, Prado took Oberholtzer\u2019s letter-high fastball over the wall in left field for a no-doubter as the Marlins took their first lead, 3-2. AJ Ramos<\/a> worked a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up the save. Kyle Barraclough<\/a>, who worked a scoreless 10th, earned the win for Miami.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe late collapse for Philadelphia spoiled a stellar start from Aaron Nola<\/a>, who allowed just two hits in six shutout innings. It also got Miami starter Jos\u00e9 Fern\u00e1ndez<\/a>\u00a0off the hook for the loss. Fern\u00e1ndez allowed just two runs on four hits in 6 \u2153\u00a0innings while tying a career-high with 14 strikeouts.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMaikel Franco<\/a> got the scoring started for the Phillies with an RBI groundout in the first inning. Tommy Joseph<\/a> took Fern\u00e1ndez deep for a solo home run to lead off the bottom of the seventh to cap the Philadelphia scoring.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter winning in 11 innings to open the series, the Marlins earned another extra-innings win the following night to clinch the series. As for Prado, only two of his 100 career home runs over 14 years in the big leagues came in extra innings. The last of those came as a member of the Marlins and on this day a decade ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over five seasons as a member of the Miami Marlins,\u00a0Mart\u00edn Prado hit just 22 home runs.
