Phillies sweep Marlins on walk-off homer

The Phillies defeated the Marlins, 8-7.

Philly (Access point) – The Marlins long-lasting their own road tries as anyone from their greatest participants couldn’t the deal is closed.

“He’s been an outstanding, quality starter for many years”, Phillies interim manager Pete Mackanin said. A trade would help replenish Philadelphia’s farm system and give the Phillies some financial relief.

“The All-Star break couldn’t have come at a better time”, Francoeur said. But it was a game that could have, probably should have been Morgan’s to try to win.

Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez is being engaged in extension talks, as are several other young, core players.

“I think I’ll play [Francoeur tonight]”, Mackanin said. He struck out two and walked one. The bats had been held scoreless in 47 of his last 51 1/3 innings.

Ever cooperative, the Marlins chose to join in with the spirit of the occasion, as closer A.J. Ramos (0-2), who entered with a 1.11 ERA, blew the save and Miami’s hopes of leaving Philadelphia with a win.

“Unfortunately that’s baseball”, Jennings said. He allowed five earned runs on eight hits over three innings, marking his second consecutive poor performance. Francouer responded to the adverse situation smashing a home run to left field a walk-off two run shot netting the Phillies their 32nd victory on the season. “I have to grind away and take the next couple of days to get back to square one”. “It was unhealthy out there”. “Luckily, I was able to string together a few zeroes, but it was nasty”.

“It was nearly unsafe”. “It was nasty, hard to breathe”.

Going into that outing against the Giants, Hamels’ ERA was a sterling 3.02, with a fielding independent pitching (FIP) of 3.31. “That’s just kind of the nature of what summer does”. Lance Lynn at home against the Mets’ weak lineup is the ideal pitcher you want in your lineup. Their team had to face the same elements.

Either of those pitchers would certainly make the Yankees more risky, but it would likely take a package including Aaron Judge and/or Luis Severino to land one of the aces, something general manager Brian Cashman is not inclined to do. And two bad starts aren’t going to change that.

Ryan Howard and Freddy Galvis also homered for the Phillies on a hot, muggy afternoon that felt much warmer than the game-time temperate of 93 degrees. Christian Yelich, Adeiny Hechavarria and Gillespie had run-scoring hits. I don’t really know the extent of it right now. His night was just getting started. “Guys should be proud the way they played”. Herrera had led off the inning with a pinch-hit single off Bryan Morris (3-2) and went to second on Revere’s sacrifice bunt.

“No”, Hamels said. “I think my track record speaks for itself”. “It was good to see everyone hit this weekend”. On Sunday, a Cubs’ scout was in attendance for Hamels’ start against the Miami Marlins. But they unwrapped the offense with a barrage of 14 hits Sunday.

His stuff still appears to be strong, with an average fastball velocity of 93.63 miles per hour this month (according to Brooks Baseball Pitch f/x data), consistent with where he’s been over the course of his career. Francoeur led off with a pinch single and advanced second on Ben Revere’s ground-out to second.
