     The Phillies added four more runs in the top of the seventh and led 6-1. Edmundo Sosa knocked in Bryce Harper on a base hit into right-center field. Stott came up next and smacked a three-run homer to right field on a 2-2 pitch. Marsh and Sosa scored in front of him on the play. 

     The Marlins picked up three runs during the bottom of the eighth to make it 6-4. Lopez drove in Jakob Marsee on an infield base hit. Two batters later, Liam Hicks hit a sacrifice fly and Kyle Stowers crossed the plate. Agustin Ramirez then singled up the middle and Lopez touched home.
