Bryson Stott's 3-run homer and Jesús Luzardo's strong outing help Phillies beat Marlins 7-2
MIAMI (AP) — Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer to cap a six-run first inning, Jesús Luzardo pitched into the seventh and Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 7-2 on Sunday. Trea Turner led off the game with a ground-rule double off Chris Paddack (0-5), who then walked Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper to load the bases. Alec Bohm drove in a run with a slow roller when Harper hustled to beat shortstop Otto Lopez's throw to second.
Brandon Marsh walked to score another run and J. T. Realmuto hit a sacrifice fly on Paddack's 27th pitch for the first out and a 3-0 lead.
Stott followed with his second homer — both of them three-run shots in this series. Justin Crawford had a two-out RBI single in the third to make it 7-0. Schwarber and Marsh each had two of the Phillies' 11 hits.
Luzardo (3-3), who threw seven scoreless innings in his previous outing, held the Marlins scoreless until running into trouble in the seventh. The left-hander surrendered Esteury Ruiz's second homer — a two-run shot — and exited after Javier Sanoja followed with a double. He allowed two runs on eight hits, striking out 10 in 6 1/3 innings.
The 28-year-old has struck out 18 and walked none over 13 1/3 innings in his last two starts. Chase Shugert got the next five outs and Orion Kerkering pitched the ninth. Paddack allowed seven runs — six earned — in 2 2/3 innings.
