Phillies Win Fifth Straight Against Marlins

The Philadelphia Phillies continued their winning streak, defeating the Miami Marlins 5-2, led by Bryson Stott's upper-deck homer and Kody Clemens' two-run double in the sixth inning. Starting pitcher Ranger Suárez delivered five scoreless innings, striking out four and allowing only three hits, while Matt Strahm secured his third save of the season. The victory improved the Phillies' record to 84-56, extending their NL East lead to eight games over the second-place team. Despite the loss, the Marlins managed to score two runs late in the game, dropping their record against left-handed starters to 10-40. The attendance for the game was low, with only 9,355 fans in attendance. The Phillies are now tied with the Dodgers for the best record in the National League but hold the tiebreaker based on their season series results against Los Angeles.
