Anderson Helps Miami Score 8 In 5th To Overtake Phils, 10-5

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins are heading into the All-Star Break playing some of their best baseball of the season.

Brian Anderson hit a three-run homer in an eight-run fifth inning, and the Marlins overcame a five-run deficit to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-5 Sunday.

Miami totaled eight hits in the fifth against three pitchers. Cameron Maybin homered and singled in the inning, and Justin Bour had two singles, with his second hit driving in the final two runs for an 8-5 lead.

The rally lasted so long Phillies first baseman Carlos Santana headed for the dugout after the second out, apparently thinking the inning was over.
