Final Score: Marlins 5, Phillies 3
For a third consecutive series against Miami, the Phillies took the first two games, but couldn’t cap off a series sweep. They’ll take 2 out of 3, but a sweep heading into a crucial nine-game stretch against the Braves, Blue Jays and Braves again would have been nice.
They wasted Brandon Marsh’s finest game in a Phillies uniform so far. He went 4-for-4 with two RBIs and was a home run shy of hitting for the cycle.
When the Phillies acquired him in a trade for Logan O’Hoppe at the deadline, they expected good defense in center, but knew the bat was a work in progress.
