Every multi-triple game in Marlins history

While last season underwhelmed as a whole for the Miami Marlins, there was some excitement along the way. Over the final half of the season, much of that excitement came from Xavier Edwards.

Just the second member of the franchise to hit for the cycle, Edwards set a franchise record last year with three triples in a win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Edwards became the first Marlin to triple three times in one game, but also one of only nine with multiple triples in the same game.

Here's a look at each of those:

Jesús Tavárez - Aug. 28, 1995 vs. Houston Astros

Jesús Tavárez didn't have a long or overly productive career, registering just 423 at-bats in five seasons with the Florida Marlins, Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox. Tavárez tripled just three times in his career, but two came in the same game against the Houston Astros in 1995, Trailing 4-3, Tavárez tripled to lead off the fourth before scoring the tying run. He added a two-out triple in the seventh to cap a 3-for-4 day at the plate in a 6-4 win. Over the franchise's first 17 years, Tavárez had the only multi-triple game.

Logan Morrison - Sept. 3, 2010 vs. Atlanta Braves

Logan Morrison wasn't particularly known for his speed, but in just 62 games as a rookie in 2010, LoMo finished with a team-leading seven triples. Two of those came in one game against the Atlanta Braves in early September. Called up a little more than a month prior, Morrison put Florida ahead for good on the second pitch he saw as he tripled off Kenshin Kawakami to chase home Cameron Maybin. Morrison also led off the third with a triple off Kawakami. He came around to score each time in the 6-1 win.

Bryan Petersen - Aug. 16, 2011 at Colorado Rockies

Bryan Petersen played just three big-league seasons and never got 250 at-bats in any season. At Coors Field in mid-August 2011, Petersen made the most of the at-bats he got. During a three-run first inning, Petersen got the rally started with a one-out triple before scoring the game's first run on a Greg Dobbs single. In the fourth, Petersen tripled for the second time off Jhoulys Chacín in the fourth, plating Emilio Bonifácio to give the Marlins a 5-2. He added a ninth-inning single off J.C. Romero in a 6-5 victory. Petersen finished with three triples for the year and six for his career, but two came in the same game. 

Emilio Bonifácio - May 13, 2012 vs. New York Mets

The Mother's Day afternoon contest at Marlins Park ended with Giancarlo Stanton coming through with a walk-off grand slam to give the Miami Marlins an 8-4 win over the New York Mets. The contest also featured the first multi-triple game in the history of Marlins Park. One of the speedier players in franchise history, Emilio Bonifácio singled in his first at-bat before starting the seventh-inning rally with a lead-off triple off Ramón Ramírez. He would score on John Buck's game-tying two-run home run. Trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the ninth, Bonifácio started the six-run inning with a lead-off triple off Frank Francisco before scoring on Greg Dobbs' pinch-hit single. Bonifácio spent four seasons with the Marlins from 2009 to 2012 and ranks eighth in franchise history with 20 triples.

José Reyes - Sept. 7, 2012 at Washington Nationals

A four-time All-Star with the New York Mets, José Reyes spent just one season with the Miami Marlins, but finished with 12 triples —one shy of tying Juan Pierre's club record set in 2005. Against the Washington Nationals in early September, Reyes finished 3-for-6 with a pair of triples and three RBIs. The first came in the top of the fourth against Zach Duke as Reyes tripled home Justin Ruggiano to give Miami a 6-2 lead. That lead, however, would not hold up as the Nationals scored the next four runs to force extra innings. With two on and one out in the 10th, Reyes put the Marlins ahead to stay with a two-run triple to break a 6-6 in an eventual 9-7 win. 

Adeiny Hechavarría - Aug. 24, 2014 at Colorado Rockies

With 31 triples over four-plus seasons with the Marlins, Adeiny Hechavarría ranks third in franchise history. In late August 2014, he became the second Marlin with two triples in one game at Coors Field. With Miami trailing 3-0 in the top of the second, Hechavarría got the two-run inning going with a triple off Christian Bergman before scoring on a Jeff Mathis double. Down 3-2, Hechavarría led the fourth off with his second triple off Bergman, but ended up stranded at third. Miami lost the game, 7-4.

Don Kelly - July 27, 2016 vs. Philadelphia Phillies

In two seasons with the Miami Marlins, Don Kelly played in just 15 games. His final contest with the club was one to remember as Kelly finished 3-for-5 with two triples, two runs scored, and two RBIs in an 11-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Kelly's two triples came on consecutive at-bats. He led off the fourth with a triple off Zach Eflin before scoring on a sacrifice fly from pitcher Adam Conley. In the sixth, Kelly ended Eflin's day with a two-run triple to push the Miami lead to 6-0. Kelly finished his nine-year big-league career with just nine triples. Two came in his last game with the Fish. 

Lewis Brinson - June 15, 2018 at Baltimore Orioles

A former first-round pick and a key piece in the trade that sent Christian Yelich from the Miami Marlins to the Milwaukee Brewers, Lewis Brinson was never able to live up to his potential or hype. In a 2-0 win at Camden Yards in mid-June 2018, however, Brinson recorded two of his seven career triples. Against Kevin Gausman, Brinson tripled in the second and sixth innings. After being stranded in the second, his three-bagger to right chased brought home JT Riddle and capped the scoring.

Xavier Edwards - Sept. 27, 2024 at Toronto Blue Jays

As the Miami Marlins began their final series of 2024 in Toronto, Xavier Edwards did what no member of the franchise had ever done before and something no Major League Baseball player had done in more than a decade. In a 15-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, Edwards finished 4-for-6 with three triples, four RBIs, and two runs scored. The first of the three plated two against José Berríos in the second inning. Edwards led off the fourth with a triple off Easton Lucas before scoring on a Jake Burger single. With the Marlins leading 10-5 in the seventh, Edwards drove in Otto Lopez and Kyle Stowers with his third triple of the contest.

Prior to Edwards, Yasiel Puig was the last big-leaguer to triple three times in a game when he did so for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the San Francisco Giants on July 25, 2014.
