MIAMI (AP) --- Griffin Conine hit a walkoff run-scoring single to lift the
Marlins past the Philadelphia Phillies 8-7 on Monday and end Miami's franchise
record 12-game losing streak.
Phillies closer Jhoan Duran (1-4) entered with a 7-5 lead before loading the
bases with no outs and allowing a tying two-run single by Heriberto Hernndez,
who scored the winning run.
Hernndez and Conine homered against Phillies ace Zack Wheeler. Jakob Marsee
had a run-scoring double and Otto Lopez added an RBI triple for the Marlins,
who hadn't won a game since July 9. The Phillies have struggled since the
All-Star break, losing seven of 10.
The Marlins built a 5-2 cushion in the first two innings against Wheeler before
blowing it in the sixth and rallying in the ninth on Conine's first career
walk-off hit and Miami's fifth walk-off win of the season.
Bryce Harper drew a leadoff walk against reliever Cade Gibson and scored on
Alec Bohm's single to make it 5-3 in the sixth. J.T. Realmuto then hit a fly
ball against Tyler Zuber that bounced over the right field wall for a double
that pulled the Phillies within one. Justin Crawford singled in Bryson Stott
before Realmuto was awarded the go-ahead run on a throwing error by Hernndez.
Harper gave Philadelphia an early lead with his 22nd homer of the season --- a
419-foot, two-run drive off starter Tyler Phillips in the first.
Wheeler was lifted after giving up six hits with six strikeouts in three
innings. Manager Don Mattingly said Wheeler might have been feeling nauseous,
but there appeared to be no injury concern with the veteran.
Phillips allowed three hits and two runs while walking two and striking out
five. He was lifted after five innings and 76 pitches. Calvin Faucher (5-5)
pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.
Up next Philadelphia RHP Aaron Nola (3-8, 5.82) will start the second game of the series against Miami RHP Sandy Alcantara (10-6, 4.01). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
