Brad Miller’s two home runs were not enough as the Philadelphia Phillies dropped the final game of the regular season to the Miami Marlins, 4-3. The Phillies finish the season at 81-81 and still have not finished above .500 since they won 102 games in 2011.
Opener Blake Parker pitched a one-two-three first inning, but he got hit hard in the second. First, Starlin Castro put the Marlins up 1-0 with an opposite-field home run. Then, after Harold Ramirez reached on a single, Isan Diaz crushed a home run of his own to give the Marlins a 3-0 lead.
