The Phillies were rolling in their most recent homestand, and Trea Turner kept the momentum going right away as the club headed to South Florida.
The shortstop and leadoff hitter took the first pitch of the game from Marlins starter Sandy Alcántara, then punished a second-pitch sinker for a leadoff home run to center field, starting off a 5-2 win for Philadelphia on Monday night at loanDepot Park.
Turner went 3-for-5 with the homer and two RBIs before right-hander Orion Kerkering closed it out for his first career save as the Phillies (43-29) secured their fifth straight victory and took the opener of a four-game series in Miami.
