Francoeur’s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Philadelphia to an 8-7 victory over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Ramos in the ninth inning as the Phillies completed a three-game sweep of the Marlins.

“This is my third time as an interim manager”, he said, “and it’s not fun”.

“He looks like a pitcher”, Mackanin said. It might have a little bit, but that’s no excuse. All he did when he was up in the majors earlier was mash and I think he could do the same now. Hamels has been seen as a…
