Can anyone stop the Philadelphia Phillies right now? The Miami Marlins had a chance to last night, but instead, they are staring at the wrong end of a potential sweep this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.
In last night's game, Miami took a lead in the second inning, and with six outs to get and a 3-1 lead, they had the home team on the ropes with NL Cy Young favorite Sandy Alcantara pitching his latest gem.
But Alcantara stayed in perhaps a bit too long and got himself into a jam he couldn't get out of in the bottom of the eighth. RBI singles by Brandon Marsh, Kyle Schwarber, and J.T. Realmuto put the Phillies ahead, and Seranthony Dominguez closed out the Phillies' seventh straight win in the ninth.
Today, the Phillies will look to pick up their 13th win in 14 games and head into a crucial road series against the New York Mets with their win streak intact. But they may have their hands full with Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera, who made his return from the injured list last week with an outstanding outing.
