Marlins light up Zack Wheeler, stage dramatic walk-off vs. Jhoan Duran to snap MLB-worst 12-game losing streak

The reeling Miami Marlins snapped a 12-game losing streak in the unlikeliest fashion Monday night.

They blew a lead after lighting up one of baseball’s best starters, then staged a walk-off comeback against an All-Star closer for a dramatic 8-7 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

The win was Miami’s first since the All-Star break and avoided breaking a tie with the New York Mets to stand alone with the worst losing streak of the MLB season.

Griffin Conine was the co-star of the comeback with a walk-off single to cap a three-run Marlins bottom of the ninth against Jhoan Duran.

Heriberto Hernández set the stage two batters earlier with a two-run single with the bases loaded to tie the game.

Both players hit home runs early off of Zack Wheeler as the Marlins torched the standout starter for five runs and chased him after three innings.

When it was done, jubilation spilled over from the Miami dugout for an on-field celebration for what Miami hopes is the catalyst to get a once-promising season back on track.
