Entering this year's postseason tournament, the Miami Marlins had never lost a playoff series, but it had been 17 years, when they were still the Florida Marlins, since their last playoff appearance.
While they will be the home team for today's NLDS game 3 vs. Atlanta, the Marlins are on the verge of seeing that run of postseason success come to a grinding halt.
Shenendehowa graduate Ian Anderson avenged an earlier loss to the Marlins, as well as a Labor Day no-decision, combining with the Atlanta bullpen to shut out Miami, 2-0. Anderson went 5 2/3 innings, giving up 3 hits while striking out 8. The Braves now lead the series, 2-0, and could close out the Marlins this afternoon.
MLB's YouTube channel provides a highlight reel:
It's safe to say Anderson left the Marlins' bats thick as bricks.
