MLB game recap

For today's game, the Miami Marlins scored two runs through the first two innings to tie the game at 2-2.

They'd add another in the fifth with the Phillies matching, but it was the seventh inning where Miami took off with the lead. Ichiro Suzuki was the first to crank out a Home Run, as he scored Tomas Telis and Miguel Rojas. Several batters later, Giancarlo Stanton smashed out yet another home run, giving him 46 for his season. After Christian Yelich hit a single, it was Marcell Ozuna hitting a two-run home run, helping Miami score six runs in the inning. That gave the Marlins at 9-3 lead in the game.

The Philadelphia Phillies would answer as best they could with a Maikel Franco sacrifice fly to score Joseph in the seventh and a Hernandez home run in the eighth.

However, at the top of the ninth Miami's Realmuto blasted a three-run shot to score Yelich and Ozuna. That gave Miami the lead for good, despite the Phillies answering with three runs in the bottom of the ninth.
