Schwarber, Phillies overcome Alcántara to win seventh straight

Final Score: Marlins 3, Phillies 1

The Philadelphia Phillies will get a good look at three of the best arms in baseball over a four-day stretch, and they managed to steal a win against the first of that trio in a loss to the Miami Marlins Wednesday.

With matchups against Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom looming this weekend in New York, the Phillies didn’t have many answers against National League Cy Young Award front-runner Sandy Alcántara through the first seven innings

J.J. Bleday — a native of Danville, Pennsylvania — added on an insurance run by doubling off of Andrew Bellatti in the top of the eighth inning to give the Marlins a 3-1 lead.
