Marlins 4, Phillies 3: Christian Yelich singled home Marcell Ozuna with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as Miami edged visiting Philadelphia to take two of three in the series.
Ozuna singled with one out off Jacob Diekman (2-2) and moved to third on two-out base hits by Jeff Mathis and Reed Johnson before Yelich’s shot up the middle. Ozuna also hit a two-run homer while Giancarlo Stanton recorded two hits and an RBI and Steve Cishek (4-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the victory.
Marlon Byrd belted a two-run homer and Chase Utley recorded a pair of hits and a run for the Phillies, who lost a series to the Marlins for only the second time in the last 11. Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels yielded three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six in seven innings.
Ed Lucas (two hits) delivered two-out double in the sixth inning and scored when Stanton lined the next pitch into right field for his major league-leading 45th RBI to snap the scoreless tie. Jeff Baker led off the seventh with a single and trotted home on Ozuna’s blast over the left-center field fence for his eighth of the season and a 3-0 lead.
Miami starter Henderson Alvarez allowed four hits in seven scoreless innings, but the Phillies tied the game against the Marlins’ bullpen in the eighth. Jimmy Rollins walked, moved to third on Utley’s double and scored on Ryan Howard’s sacrifice fly before Byrd’s two-run blast to center field off Mike Dunn.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Marlins improved to 19-6 for their best 25-game start at home in franchise history. … Rollins was 1-for-3 to register his 2,218th career hit, moving him past Richie Ashburn (2,217) for second on the franchise’s all-time list - 16 short of Mike Schmidt. … The Marlins optioned RHP Anthony DeSclafani to Triple-A New Orleans while naming LHP Randy Wolf the starter for Sunday’s game against Milwaukee, and recalled RHP Chris Hatcher.
