     The Philadelphia Phillies avoided a three-game sweep with a 4-3 victory over the Miami Marlins on Sunday at loanDepot park. The Marlins have Monday off while the Phillies travel to Milwaukee. 
     In the second inning, Miami(57-80) went in front 1-0. Isan Diaz grounded into a force out at second and Jesus Sanchez reached home.
     Philadelphia(70-66) chalked up three runs in the top of the fourth. Bryce Harper blasted a solo home run to right-center field on a 2-2 pitch for his 27th  homer of the season. Freddy Galvis later connected a two-run homer to right field on a 3-1 count with Didi Gregorius aboard. 
     The Fish closed it to 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth. Bryan De La Cruz ripped a solo home run to left field on a 2-1 count. 
     The Marlins evened it up 3-3 in the sixth inning. De La Cruz reached base on a fielder's choice and Jazz Chisolm Jr. crossed the plate. 
     It would come down to extra innings. The Phillies pulled ahead in the 10th when Odubel Herrera singled through the right side and Galvis scored.
