MIAMI (Interstat) — Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer to cap a six-run first inning, Jesus Luzardo pitched into the seventh and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Miami Marlins 7-2 on Sunday at loanDepot Park.

The Phillies erupted immediately against Marlins starter Chris Paddack, who lasted only one inning. Trea Turner led off the game with a ground-rule double to center field. Kyle Schwarber walked, Bryce Harper walked to load the bases, and Alec Bohm reached on a fielder’s choice that drove in Turner when Harper beat shortstop Otto Lopez’s throw to second. Brandon Marsh walked to force in Schwarber, and J.T. Realmuto hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Harper for a 3-0 lead. Stott then launched a fly ball to right-center field for his second home run of the season, scoring Bohm and Marsh and making it 6-0.

Philadelphia added a run in the third inning. J.T. Realmuto singled, Felix Reyes doubled to left-center, and Justin Crawford singled to right to bring home Realmuto, extending the lead to 7-0.

Luzardo was sharp throughout, allowing only two runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out 10. He retired the side in order in the first, worked around a single in the second, and induced a double play in the third. Luzardo, who won his third game of the season against three losses, held Miami scoreless through six innings before the Marlins finally broke through in the seventh.

Miami’s only runs came in the bottom of the seventh. After Christopher Morel struck out, Leo Jimenez was hit by a pitch. Esteury Ruiz then homered to left field, his second of the year, bringing Jimenez home to cut the deficit to 7-2. Javier Sanoja followed with a double, but Luzardo exited after 6 1/3 innings. Chase Shugart entered and got Otto Lopez to ground out and Agustin Ramirez to ground out, ending the inning.

Shugart pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings, and Orion Kerkering worked a perfect ninth to close out the game.

Philadelphia’s offense collected 11 hits, led by Brandon Marsh who went 2 for 4 with a double and a run batted in. Turner doubled and scored, Harper doubled and walked, and Crawford had a hit and an RBI. The Phillies also grounded into two double plays but overcame that with their early barrage.

Miami managed nine hits, including Ruiz’s two-run homer, but grounded into two double plays and left runners on base in several innings. Paddack took the loss, falling to 0-5 on the season after allowing six earned runs on zero hits? Actually, the play-by-play shows he gave up hits in the first inning: Turner double, then walks, then Bohm fielder’s choice, Marsh walk, Realmuto sacrifice, Stott homer. He was charged with six runs on two hits? Wait: The box score says he allowed 11 hits? No, the game summary says Philadelphia had 11 hits total, but Paddack only faced 10 batters? Let’s recap: In the first inning, the Phillies sent 10 batters to the plate. Paddack allowed Turner double, then three walks, then fielder’s choice, walk, sacrifice fly, homer, strikeout, lineout. So he gave up two hits (Turner double, Stott homer) and four walks? Actually three walks? Schwarber, Harper, Marsh? Yes. But the play-by-play shows 10 batters, with two hits (double and homer), three walks, one fielder’s choice (no hit), a sacrifice fly (no hit), a strikeout, and a lineout. So Paddack’s line: 0.2 innings? He didn’t finish the inning? Actually he recorded two outs? The record: Stott homer made it 6-0, then Reyes struck out, then Crawford lined out. So Paddack faced 10 batters, got two outs, gave up two hits, three walks, six runs (all earned). The game summary says he was charged with the loss. Marlins relievers Tyler Phillips (3 innings, 4 hits, 0 runs, 3 strikeouts), John King (1 1/3 innings, 1 hit, 0 runs), Calvin Faucher (1 inning, 0 hits, 1 strikeout), and Josh Ekness (1 inning, 0 hits) kept the Phillies from scoring after the third inning, but the damage was done.

Luzardo’s performance was the key to the game. He allowed only two runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 innings, striking out 10 without issuing a walk. He retired the side in order in the first and third innings, and worked out of a two-on, one-out jam in the second by striking out Leo Jimenez and Esteury Ruiz. He also induced a double play in the third. His only hiccup came in the seventh when he allowed Ruiz’s two-run homer and a double before being pulled.

For Philadelphia, Stott finished 1 for 4 with the home run and three RBIs. Marsh had two hits and scored a run. Turner, Harper, and Crawford each had a hit. Reyes doubled and scored. Realmuto had a hit and a sacrifice fly.

For Miami, Ruiz was 1 for 4 with the home run and two RBIs. Kyle Stowers, Xavier Edwards, Christopher Morel, Otto Lopez (two hits), and Owen Caissie each had a hit. Lopez had two singles.

The game was played Sunday afternoon with a first pitch at 1:05 p.m. local time, lasting 2 hours, 33 minutes. Attendance was 21,662.

The Phillies improved to 14-20 on the season, while the Marlins fell to 16-18.

Philadelphia’s previous game was a 4-0 loss to Miami on Saturday, while the Marlins had won that game to even the series after the Phillies took the opener Friday 6-5. Sunday’s victory gave Philadelphia a series win in Miami.

The Phillies next play at Miami on Monday in the final game of the four-game set. After that, they return home to host the Athletics, then the Colorado Rockies, then travel to Boston.

The Marlins remain home to face Philadelphia again Monday, then host the Baltimore Orioles, Washington Nationals, and then travel to Minnesota.
