The Miami Marlins snapped a five-game losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The Fish remain in last place in the National League East and stand eight games behind the New York Mets.
Both teams scored runs during the second inning. Marcell Ozuna scored the first run for the Marlins when Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels committed an error. Philadelphia(5-10) tied the game 1-1 on a lead-off homer by Cody Asche against Jarred Cosart. He hit his second home run of the season to right field on a 3-2 count. It was be the only blemish for Cosart who went six innings and gave up one run on four hits.
In the seventh inning, Miami(4-11) pulled ahead 2-1 in an unusual way with one out. Luis Garcia balked and Adeiny Hechavarria crossed the plate on the play.
The Marlins extended their margin to 6-1 with a four-run rally with two outs in the top of the eighth. After Ichiro Suzuki got an infield hit against Ken Giles, he moved to second on a single to center field by Hechavarria. Pinch-hitter Jeff Baker reached base on an error by Chase Utley to load the bases. All three runners scored on a fielding error by Odubel Herrera. Justin De Fratus relieved Giles and surrendered a double to Martin Prado for Dee Gordon to score.
