Griffin Conine was Miami's answer for much of the night, going 2-for-4 with a home run and an RBI. His 422-foot shot to center in the second inning tied the game at 1-1. But the effort was largely erased by Philadelphia's sixth-inning surge, and Conine's team fell to 64-63 with the loss.
Philadelphia's first run came in the bottom of the first, when Bohm singled home Harper to make it 1-0. Miami answered with Conine's homer in the second, then took the lead in the fifth when Edwards singled to center and Navarreto scored. The Marlins added another run in the sixth on a throwing error by Arraez that let Lopez score, pushing their advantage to 3-1. But Philadelphia's own sixth-inning outburst flipped the game, and in the eighth, Hernández singled home Conine to put Miami briefly back on top at 5-4 before Schwarber's single scored Stott and returned the lead to the Phillies for good at 6-4.
Miami starter Cade Gibson lasted just 1.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 2 hits, and the bullpen behind him was stretched thin, with five relievers combining for 6.2 innings and 5 runs. Michael Petersen took the loss after allowing 4 runs on 4 hits in just 1.0 inning of relief, now 2-3 on the season with a 3.61 ERA. Zack Wheeler started for Philadelphia and worked 5.0 innings, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits with 7 strikeouts and 4 walks, carrying a 2.92 ERA. Alex McFarlane picked up his first career win after allowing 1 run in 1.0 inning, and Brooks Raley closed it out with a scoreless inning for his first save of the season.
The win was Philadelphia's fifth straight, improving the Phillies to 69-58. Luis Arraez went 3-for-4 and sits at 495 career runs, 5 shy of the 500 milestone. Bohm drove in 2 runs, and Stott added 2 RBI of his own as part of the decisive sixth-inning rally.
