The Miami Marlins had an interesting event take place during their series opener against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Teams usually organize special occasions to enhance the in-game experience for fans. On Friday, the Marlins organized their event so that fans can purchase hot dogs for one dollar each, allowing them to buy as many at an affordable price.
This is something the team's broadcast took full advantage of. Their reporter went out to fans and asked them if they could name player on the squad. If they were successful, they won hot dogs to enjoy for the game.

How Marlins played against Tigers
Marlins fans not only got to enjoy hot dogs at cheap prices, but they also had fun watching the team beat the Tigers 8-2 throughout the night.

Sandy Alcantara earned the win as he lasted seven innings on the mound, striking out eight batters while allowing four hits and one run.
