The Marlins headed home Sunday after concluding a road trip to forget with a 5-3 loss to the Phillies.
Asdrubal Cabrera’s two-run homer in the eighth off Drew Steckenrider gave the Phillies a sweep of their four-game series with the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park.
The Marlins went 0-6 on a trip that began in Atlanta, marking the first time since April of 2014 that they failed to win a single game on a road trip involving at least six games. The six-game losing streak for the Marlins matches their longest of the season.
Dan Straily and Aaron Nola dueled through five scoreless innings before the Phillies broke through with three runs in the sixth after Philadelphia loaded the bases behind three walks, two issued by Straily and the other by Adam Conley.
