Otto López Powers Marlins to 5-4 Win Over Phillies, Snapping Losing Streak

Otto López had a breakout performance with two home runs and four RBIs, leading the Miami Marlins to a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies and avoiding a series sweep. The Marlins scored four runs in the first inning against Phillies starter Taijuan Walker, with López's three-run homer setting the tone early. Trea Turner homered for the Phillies but left the game with a right hamstring strain, and Kyle Schwarber contributed a key RBI single in the ninth inning. Phillies ace Sandy Alcantara had a strong outing in a prior game, but the Marlins' Jesús Luzardo earned his 13th win in a season of redemption. Bryce Harper, despite a recent batting slump, hit a home run and drove in two runs in the Marlins game, raising his season average to .264 with 24 homers and 67 RBIs. The Phillies, holding a 83–60 record, are preparing for upcoming series against the New York Mets while the Marlins look ahead to facing the Washington Nationals.
