On a night that saw Nick Castellanos sit out of the starting lineup for the first time since 2023 for a clubhouse infraction, the Philadelphia Phillies (43-30) lost 8-3 in game two of their four-game series against the Miami Marlins (29-42) on Tuesday night behind a shaky start by Jesus Luzardo and a poor performance by the bullpen.
The Fish had 13 hits and five walks against the staff. The lone Marlins’ starter without a hit, Heriberto Hernandez, was pinch-hit for a guy who hit a home run.
The Marlins struck first in the second inning with a leadoff walk issued by Luzardo to Hernandez followed by a two-run homer by Eric Wagaman.
