Season series: Tied 2-2

The 7-4 loss to the Miami Marlins was the least of Philadelphia’s concerns because 1B Bryce Harper limped off the field after making the final out and LF Kyle Schwarber left the game earlier in the 9th inning with left groin tightness. DH Trea Turner went 2-for-4 with 3 runs scored and C Rafael Marchen had a solo HR. Despite the loss, the Phillies are 31-13 at home.
