Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jerome Williams (31) wipes his face as he talks with pitching …

Miami Marlins right fielder Derek Dietrich (32) rounds the bases after hitting a solo home during the seventh inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Marlins Park.

“We got in a hole and tried to dig out”, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. “It’s a great dream”.

The asking price was $5,000.

“Everything came full circle”, said his father, Darnell Sweeney Sr., a native of the Virgin Islands who coached his son from age 4 until high school on the Miramar Angels travel team. Nola comes off of an 8-5 loss to Toronto with three runs scored on four hits and four BB in five frames.

It was the first time all season the Phillies have hit back-to-back homers.

Conley retired the last seven batters he faced.

Nola continued to do his part from there before making way for Ken Giles in the ninth.

“I kind of figured some things out after that (third) inning”, Harang said. Catcher Cameron Rupp hit his fifth home run and threw out two runners trying to steal. The homer came on the first pitch of the at-bat.Sweeney, who was 0-for-2 in the majors before that at-bat, grew up locally, playing at American High in Miami Dade County. Nicolino gave up a single to the next batter, second baseman Cesar Hernandez, and was removed from the game.

“You wouldn’t think it would be that hard to get one out”, Morris said. “He can be the guy that turns the game around with any swing”.

RHP Aaron Nola will start against the Marlins on Sunday in the finale of the four-game series. “It’s a frustrating loss”. He was named the global League Pitcher of the Week in his first week with the Phillies Triple-A organization before being called up for Friday’s start. In his absence, two Miami left fielders combined to make three errors in three innings on Friday.

Junichi Tazawa pitched the ninth for his second save. Sweeney was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Chase Utley trade. “Dietrich’s home run. With runners in scoring position, 0-for-8”. Jennings said Capps is about a week away from returning….

Fernandez will take an important step in that direction Thursday when he throws his first bullpen session since going on the disabled list with a right biceps strain. “Hopefully it’s mild and he’ll be ready to go”, Jennings said. He threw strikes. He got his first major league hit and RBIs.

Shaw had a pair of hits and Bradley laced an RBI triple to right on Thursday night to help the Boston Red Sox beat Kansas City 4-1 and end the Royals’ five-game winning streak.
