Both teams scored in the first inning. The Marlins got an RBI-single by Starlin Castro into center field to score Miguel Rojas. The Phillies jumped over them in the bottom of the frame as Jean Segura knocked in Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins on a base hit to left.
Miami(30-46) responded fast in the following inning to take the lead 3-2. J.T. Riddle sliced a two-run homer to right on a 0-1 pitch. They added another run in the third inning when Brian Anderson grounded into a double play for Harold Ramirez to cross the plate.
It became a four-run margin for the Marlins in the top of the fifth. They picked up back-to-back solo home runs from Garrett Cooper and Brian Anderson over the center-field fence.
Philadelphia(39-38) attempted to make a late comeback in the game. Jay Bruce drove in Harper with a sacrifice fly to center during the eighth inning. Sean Rodriguez connected with a sacrifice fly into center field which brought in Cesar Hernandez.
