Phillies Edge Marlins 11-10 Despite Late Comeback

The Philadelphia Phillies narrowly defeated the Miami Marlins 11-10 on Saturday despite nearly surrendering a seven-run lead in the ninth inning, with closer Jordan Romano giving up six runs before José Alvarado secured the final out for his fifth save of the season. The Phillies' offense was led by Trea Turner, Bryson Stott, and Johan Rojas, who combined for 10 hits and five RBIs, helping build what seemed an insurmountable lead after seven runs in the third and fourth innings. Miami's late rally featured home runs by Dane Myers and Liam Hicks, capitalizing on Romano's ongoing struggles, but ultimately fell just short. Phillies starter Taijuan Walker limited Miami to one run over four innings before leaving due to shoulder tightness, while Matt Strahm earned the win in relief. The Marlins, who have now dropped five straight, showed resilience but continue to be hampered by pitching depth issues. The Phillies extended their home series unbeaten streak to 11 and aimed for a sweep in the series finale.
