MIAMI — Brandon Marsh crossed home plate after putting a ball into the third row of the second deck at loanDepot park to drive in two runs, pointed at Harrison Bader and slapped hands with the on-deck batter. Bader followed it up with another home run, pulling a hanging slider 410 feet to left field.
The fourth-inning power display came two frames after Max Kepler hit a second-deck homer of his own. That trio of Phillies outfielders, all batting right in a row in the fifth, sixth and seventh slots in Philadelphia’s order, hit home runs in a 9-3 win over the Marlins in the opener of a three-game series.
