Phillies Collapse After Six-Run Lead | Miami Marlins News

The Phillies suffered a brutal, historic collapse, blowing an eight-run lead to the Marlins in a 6-8 loss — a team on a 12-game skid who somehow swept the series. With their manager already fired, the meltdown began in the 7th when starter Jesús Luzardo was pushed too far, and reliever Seth Johnson couldn’t hold the tie, giving up runs and walks. The Marlins sealed it with a two-run homer in the 8th, and the Phillies’ offense went cold after the 5th. Now 8-2 in their last 10, they’re clinging to a slim playoff lead — and with the trade deadline looming, fans are wondering if any moves will save this sinking ship.
