Phillies Jump By Marlins

     The Philadelphia Phillies pulled off a ninth-inning rally to beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday night. It was the first game of a four-game series between both clubs.
     Miami(46-64) roared out to a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. Justin Bour walloped a two-run homer to right field on a 3-2 pitch which had J.T. Realmuto score in front of him.
     Philadelphia(60-48) earned their first run during the sixth. Rhys Hoskins socked a solo home run to left field on a 0-1 count.
     In the ninth inning, the Phillies fought and overtook the Marlins. With one out and the bases loaded for the Phils, Nick Williams grounded out to short and Jeff Kingery scored on the play. Maikel Franco came up next and powered a three-run homer barely over the left-field wall on a 2-0 pitch to give them the victory.
