US EditionXavier Edwards’ 11th-Inning Sacrifice Fly Lifts Marlins over Phillies
Miami scored all runs from the eighth inning, including two homers, to win their seventh straight game and remain four games behind the final wild-card spot, officials said.
- On Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park, Xavier Edwards drove in the go-ahead run with an 11th-inning sacrifice fly as Heriberto Hernández and Griffin Conine homered during Miami's rally.
- The Phillies jumped to an early 3-0 lead after Kyle Schwarber's NL-leading 54th homer and a two-run shot from Otto Kemp, while Cristopher Sánchez worked seven scoreless innings and reached 200 strikeouts.
- A one hour, nine minute rain delay halted play in the ninth after Rafael Marchán's leadoff single; Miami scored in the 10th on Liam Hicks' broken-bat RBI and Josh Simpson earned the win.
- Miami's win extended its streak to seven and made it 11 wins in 12 games, keeping the club four games back of New York for the final NL wild-card spot with five games remaining.
- The teams close out the regular season this weekend at loanDepot park, and Rob Thomson said they must fix 'a little bit of sloppiness' before Wednesday's Ryan Weathers versus Jesús Luzardo matchup.
