The momentum in the game and hopefully the season shifted with one huge swing in the fourth inning tonight as the Philadelphia Phillies (70-50) came back from a three-run deficit, scoring seven unanswered runs to defeat the Miami Marlins (45-76) by a score of 9-5 in the second half of the two-game series and end their four-game losing streak.
It was the 12th time this season the Phillies have scored nine or more runs in a game (all wins) but only the second time since the All Star break and fourth since June 23rd.
Tyler Phillips again surrendered a lot of hard contact in the early innings but, just as he did in Los Angeles a week ago, survived long enough to get to the bullpen with a lead.
