The Phillies found themselves in unfamiliar territory in the fifth inning, as they were losing 1-0 to the Marlins. Jesús Luzardo was in complete control Miami through 5 innings on a day when the Phillies were without Kyle Schwarber in addition to already being without Trea Turner.
But Marlins manager Skip Schumaker elected to pull Luzardo with two outs in the sixth and the Phillies offense pounced on the Miami bullpen to score 8 total runs. Taijuan Walker turned in a solid start that bought the offense time to break the game open. Philadelphia is now 16 games over .
