Marlins Win Season Finale Over Phillies

     The Miami Marlins completed the 2019 campaign with a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park. The Marlins ended the regular season with at least 100 losses for the third time in franchise history.
     The Phillies finished their year with a non-losing season for the first time since 2012. They ended with a .500 record of 81-81 as they did seven years ago.
     Miami(57-105) raced out to a 3-0 lead during the second inning. Starlin Castro homered to right-center field on a 3-2 count. Isan Diaz later smashed a two-run homer on the first pitch to right field with Harold Ramirez on board.
     The Fish put the Phils into a four-run hole in the top of the third inning. Martin Prado lifted a solo round-tripper to left field for his 100th career home run.
     Philadelphia(81-81) cut the deficit in the bottom of the third. Brad Miller powered a solo home run over the center-field wall on a 3-1 pitch.
     In the seventh inning, Miller compiled his second home run of the contest. Cesar Hernandez was able to score in from of him to make it 4-3.
