On June 8 2013 — For only the second time in major league history, two games go 18 innings on the same day. First, the Blue Jays defeat the Rangers, 4 – 3, when Rajai Davis drives in Emilio Bonifacio with a two-out single in the 18th inning. Ross Wolf is the unlucky loser after 6 2/3 innings of work. It’s the longest game in both teams’ history, but it’s not even the longest on the day, as the Marlins need 20 innings to defeat the Mets, 2 – 1, tying for the longest game in their history, and the longest played at Citi Field. Adeiny Hechevarria drives in the go-ahead run and Steve Cishek gets the final out after 6 hours and 20 minutes. The game almost ends in the 12th, but Marlins RF Marcell Ozuna throws Daniel Murphy out at the plate to prolong the game. Starters Shaun Marcum and Kevin Slowey then come in to pitch in the 13th, and both pitch scoreless ball until the 20th. Marcum falls to 0-7 in spite of his tremendous effort.
