win over Phillies
MIAMI (AP) --- Otto Lpez was a triple shy of the cycle, Connor Norby homered
and drove in three runs, and the Miami Marlins snapped NL East-leading
Philadelphia's six-game winning streak with a 9-5 victory over the Phillies on
Saturday.
Jonah Bride also homered, while Xavier Edwards and Nick Fortes had two hits
each for the Marlins, who had 14 hits a day after losing 16-2 to the Phillies.
John McMillon (2-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for the win.
Phillies starter Aaron Nola (12-7) was lifted after he allowed five runs and
nine hits over 4 2/3 innings, walking two and striking out five. It was his
shortest start since allowing eight runs and 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings against
Boston on June 13.
Bride homered to lead off the fifth and put Miami ahead 5-3 and Jess Snchez
added an RBI single in the sixth.
The Marlins padded their lead with a three-run seventh against former starter
Taijuan Walker. Lpez hit a solo homer over the center field wall in the inning
and two runs scored on shortstop Trea Turner's throwing error.
Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber hit a tying sacrifice fly in the third inning for
his 93rd RBI of the season.
Norby hit a two-run homer in the first to put Miami ahead 2-1.
Marlins starter Darren McCaughan allowed three runs and six hits in 4 2/3
innings. The right-hander struck out four.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Phillies: Manager Rob Thomson said catcher J.T. Realmuto has some swelling but
will remain with the club as he recovers from a left knee contusion sustained
Friday. The Phillies selected the contract of catcher Aramis Garcia from
Triple-A Lehigh Valley and designated RHP Nick Nelson for assignment.
Marlins: Placed RHP Max Meyer (right shoulder bursitis) and RHP Calvin Faucher
(right shoulder impingement) on the 15-day injured list and OF Derek Hill
(right shoulder impingement) on the 10-day injured list. ... LHP Andrew Nardi
(left elbow muscle) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
UP NEXT
RHP Seth Johnson will make his major league debut when he starts the series
finale for the Phillies on Sunday. The Marlins have not announced a starter but
manager Skip Schumaker said RHP Edward Cabrera could get the nod when he
cleared all tests after he withdrew from his scheduled start Friday because of
migraine-like symptoms.
