MIAMI -- For most of the night, the Phillies were unable to capitalize on a few chances off Marlins lefty Dillon Peters, who threw seven shutout innings in his MLB debut. But in the ninth inning, they had some answers against veteran closer Brad Ziegler.
Maikel Franco led off with a double, scored on Jorge Alfaro's RBI single, and Philadelphia secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Miami on Andres Blanco's run-scoring groundout.
On a night they had just six hits, the Phillies edged the Marlins by a run for the second consecutive game and extended Miami's losing streak to five.
