PHILADELPHIA -- For the Marlins, it was the mother of all maulings.
Their 20-1 blowout loss to the Phillies on Saturday marked the most lopsided defeat in franchise history, edging out an 18-0 bloodbath at the hands of the Braves in 1999.
“You’re glad they only count for one,” said Marlins manager Don Mattingly. “It’s not like these games count as two.”
The Marlins have lost four straight.
