On April 5th, 1993, the Florida Marlins played their first ever game, winning 6-3 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Left fielder Jeff Conine tallied four hits throughout the opener, with outfielder Scott Pose and shortstop Walt Weiss driving home two runs apiece. Charlie Hough pitched six innings of three-run baseball to earn the win, with Bryan Harvey closing out the team’s first save situation. Orel Hershiser got tagged for ten hits and five runs in five innings of work. (The Colorado Rockies also made their debut OTD in 1993, but they lost 3-0 to the New York Mets.)
