The Philadelphia Phillies survived a dramatic weekend series against the Miami Marlins, highlighted by a nail-biting 11-1 win after nearly blowing a six-run lead in the ninth inning. Trea Turner led the charge with four hits, while Bryson Stott and Johan Rojas each added three, helping the Phillies fend off a furious Marlins rally.
But the Marlins struck back in the finale, rallying in extra innings to defeat the Phillies 7-5 and avoid a sweep. The Phillies’ bullpen faltered late, raising questions about the reliability of closer Seranthony Domínguez and setup man Craig Kimbrel. Meanwhile, fans are eager to see if reliever Nick Romano will get a call-up to stabilize the late innings—a move that could shake up the current roster.
On the mound, all eyes are on Cal Quantrill, who has posted a.7 ERA over his last three starts for the Marlins, struggling with command and hard contact. The Phillies’ offense will look to capitalize if Quantrill gets the nod in the next matchup.
