Phillies Sweep Marlins

     The Philadelphia Phillies pulled off a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins 4-1 on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The Marlins finished off a six-game road trip and fell more behind in the National League Wild-Card race. 
     Philadelphia(70-58) took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second. Garrett Stubbs picked up an infield base hit to short and Luis Arraez reached home.
     It became 3-0 for the Phillies during the third inning. Arraez ripped a two-run homer to right field on a 2-2 pitch with Bryce Harper aboard. It turned out to be the sixth home run this year for Arraez. 
     Miami(64-64) made it 3-1 in the top of the sixth. Javier Sanoja smacked a solo home run to left field on a 2-2 count for his sixth homer of the seasons. 
     The Phils expanded their lead to 4-1 in the bottom of the seventh. Turner knocked in Kyle Schwarber with a double into the left-center field gap.
