The Miami Marlins had themselves quite the game yesterday. 

After getting out to an early 5-0 deficit after the top of the first, Miami stormed back with five runs in the bottom of the 9th to tie it up and walked it off in extras. It’s the first time in MLB history that five runs or more have scored in the top of the 1st and the bottom of the 9th (or later) with no runs being scored in between those two half-innings.  

And so Miami’s in position to potentially pick up their first series win tonight in game two of the series. The Marlins are sending Roddery Muñoz, who was called back up this morning, out there for his second career MLB start, with Colorado matching with veteran Dakota Hudson.  

Lineups for the Miami Marlins and Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, May 1st

2B Luis Arraez
DH Bryan De La Cruz
CF Jazz Chisholm Jr.
1B Josh Bell
RF Jesús Sánchez
LF Nick Gordon
3B Emmanuel Rivera
SS Vidál Bruján
C Christian Bethancourt

Muñoz got his first game of action in the April 20th doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs, serving as the designated 27th man for the day. He started game two, allowing two runs on two hits (both solo homers) with one walk and seven strikeouts. 

Here's Colorado’s lineup:

SS Ezequiel Tovar
CF Brenton Doyle
3B Ryan McMahon

DH Charlie Blackmon

The 29-year-old Hudson is 0-4 with a 6.57 ERA in his five starts, allowing twenty-one runs (eighteen earned) on twenty-nine hits in 24.2 innings. He’s given up three homers and walked fifteen to only sixteen strikeouts. Hudson’s lacking in experience against a majority of this roster with the exception of DH/1B Josh Bell, who is 6-13 with two RBIs and a 1.231 OPS in his career off of the righty.
