Miami MarlinsvsPhiladelphia Phillies
MIA 12/PHI 4
Things to say
Marlins beat the Phillies 12-4 at Citizens Bank Park.
01
opener
Marlins absolutely tee'd off in Philly, 12-4. Felt over by the fifth. Phillies bats just never showed up.
02
key player
Miami's lineup left the yard all afternoon — heart of the order did the damage and the bottom kept the line moving.
03
hot take
Rob Thomson went to the pen too early and it blew up in his face. That's a manageable loss if the starter eats one more inning.
04
deep cut
Phillies are 40-34 and starting to look real ordinary at home. Marlins quietly clawed back to 37-38 — nobody's talking about it yet.
05
exit
Getaway day vibes. Curious if Philly's rotation can stop the bleeding before this turns into a real slide.
The recap
Marlins absolutely torched the Phillies 12-4 at Citizens Bank Park, and it wasn't really close after the middle innings. Miami's bats got into Philly's stuff early, chased the starter, and then kept piling on once the manager went to the pen too early on what felt like a getaway day.
Eight runs is a beating in anyone's ballpark, and the heart of the order clearly left the yard more than once to put this one away. Phillies fall to 40-34, Marlins claw back toward .500 at 37-38.
