Marlins Swept, Now Hunt Wild Card | Miami Marlins News

The Marlins get swept again, falling 4-1 to the Phillies and slipping back to .500 in their Wild Card chase. Sandy Alcantara struggled, giving up three earned runs, while Aaron Nola dominated with seven innings and eight strikeouts. Bryce Harper’s sixth homer of the season — a two-run blast in the third — gave Philly a 3-0 lead, and they added insurance after a controversial review in the seventh. Javier Sanoja lit up the box score with a 3-for-3 night and his sixth homer, cutting it to 3-1, but the rest of the lineup went cold. The Phillies closer locked it down in the ninth. Now, Miami heads home for a six-game homestand against the Nationals and Red Sox — and they’d better turn things around fast if they want to stay alive in the playoff race.
