MIAMI - Aaron Altherr looked at strike three, dipped his head, and walked back to the dugout to finish a 10-2 loss to the Marlins on Wednesday at Marlins Park. The Phillies' rotten month was finally over.
The Phillies, baseball's worst team, were dominated in three games by baseball's third-worst team. The Marlins outscored the Phillies, 21-5, in the three-game sweep.
Aaron Nola lasted just three innings as the Phillies bullpen had to log five innings for the second straight game. The Phillies scored two runs or fewer for the ninth time in their last 11 games.
