The Philadelphia Phillies handled the Miami Marlins 9-4 on Tuesday night at Marlins Park. The Marlins have lost six of their last eight games. The Phillies have prevailed in three of their previous six games.
Philadelphia(73-65) pounced on the lead early. Carlos Santana blasted a leadoff solo home run into the upper deck on right field in the first inning for his 21st homer of the year. The Phils loaded the bases which led to a three-run triple by Cesar Hernandez to the right-field wall. Odubel Herrera, Wilson Ramos and Nick Williams all scored on the play to make it 4-0.
Miami(55-84) began to chop at the lead in the bottom of the first. J.T. Realmuto ripped a solo homer to right-center field on a 2-1 count.
The Phillies continued their scoring in the second inning. Asdrubal Cabrera doubled into deep right field which brought in Santana and Rhys Hoskins.
Cabrera remained an obstacle to the Fish as he has all season with the Mets and now with the Phillies. He connected with a solo home run to right field on a 1-1 count during the top of the fourth.
Both clubs were able to score in the fifth inning. Philadelphia had Jeff Kingery cross the plate on a Santana ground out to first.
The Marlins placed two runs to cut the deficit to 8-3. Starlin Castro knocked in Austin Dean with a base hit into center field. Rafael Ortega would later score on a ground out to first by Derek Dietrich.
In the eighth inning, Miami added another run. Realmuto hit his second home run of the contest on a 3-2 pitch to left-center field for his 20th homer of the season.
The Phils loaded the bases in the ninth. Hoskins got hit by a pitch for Williams to touch home plate.
