Marlins’ improbable season gets even better
Team contending despite payroll lower than 16 players
There is overachieving, and then there are the Florida Marlins — for whom the word just doesn’t do justice.
Especially not after rookie Anibal Sanchez ended the longest no-hit drought in major-league history Wednesday. In only his 13th start after being promoted from Double-A Carolina in June, the 22-year-old right-hander blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first no-hitter since Randy Johnson’s perfect game in May of 2004.
And the game’s most unlikely playoff contender ever has another improbable and historic moment to celebrate in a season full of them.
