PHI 12, MIA 6; Phillies hitters mercilessly defecate on Ureña’s birthday cake

The much-anticipated MPCS is knotted up at two games apiece after the Phillies rode an offensive eruption to a 12-6 win over the Marlins.

Ureña was the one celebrating a birthday on Saturday, but in a reversal of traditional roles, he handed out the “presents” at Marlins Park early on. A Brian Anderson error—his eighth of the season, most among all National League players—and back-to-back walks loaded the bases for Didi Gregorius in the top of the first. The Phillies shortstop pounded a hanging slider to right for a grand slam.
