Cristopher Sanchez set the tone, working 6.0 innings and allowing just 1 run (1 earned) on 8 hits with 6 strikeouts and 3 walks. The left-hander improved to 16-4 on the season, carrying a 2.51 ERA. He handed a comfortable lead to the Philadelphia bullpen, which covered the final three innings but allowed 4 runs as Miami kept pressing.
Philadelphia grabbed control in the third when Turner singled to left and Crawford scored, putting the Phillies ahead for good. Arraez followed with a single to right that brought Turner home, extending the lead to 0-2. The Phillies added more in the sixth, with Hill's single scoring Stott and Schwarber's sacrifice fly plating Realmuto, and again in the seventh when Hill walked with the bases full to force in Bohm. Bohm's single in the eighth scored Harper for the Phillies' final run.
Miami chipped away throughout, getting a run from Conine's single in the sixth and two more in the seventh on Sanoja's double, a call that was overturned on a Marlins challenge. Navarreto's home run to left in the eighth and Lopez's ninth-inning single that brought in Edwards pulled the Marlins within one, but they ran out of outs. Janson Junk took the loss for Miami, allowing 2 runs on 8 hits over 5.0 innings, falling to 6-8 with a 4.37 ERA.
Duran worked the ninth for his 27th save of the season, needing just 1.0 inning despite allowing 1 run on 2 hits. Philadelphia extended its winning streak to four games, improving to 68-58, while Miami dropped to 64-62.
