MIAMI -- Christian Yelich stepped to the plate 0 for 4 in the game and
0-since-the-minors when batting with a chance for a walkoff win.
Nike Air Max 90 Herr Rea . This time he came
through. The Miami outfielder hit a two-out, bases-loaded RBI single in the
ninth inning Thursday to give the Marlins a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia
Phillies. Yelich said the walkoff hit was his first since Single-A. As a reward
he was mobbed by his teammates after rounding first base. "You know youre
probably going to get beat up a little bit out there, but its an awesome
feeling," he said. "I got horse-collared for a second, but thats all right. Ill
take it. Im glad I could win that one." The Marlins won despite squandering a
3-0 eighth-inning lead. They improved to 19-6 at home, best in majors, and have
scored a game-ending run in four of their past six victories at Marlins Park.
That gives them five walkoff wins this year, which is tied with the Pittsburgh
Pirates for the most in the majors, according to STATS. "Nobody wants to play
extra innings," manager Mike Redmond said. "We wanted to get that thing done
with and go out and have a nice meal." Miamis Henderson Alvarez threw seven
shutout innings, while Cole Hamels allowed three runs in seven innings. The
Phillies lost two of three in the series and are 20-24 going into an 11-game
homestand starting Friday. "Were so close for that sort of explosion to happen
and for everything to come together," Hamels said. "Its a matter of time before
it will happen, but I know personally it should happen soon." Philadelphias
Marlon Byrd tied it in the eighth with a two-run homer, his sixth. Miamis
Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run homer, giving him two homers and seven RBIs in the
past two games, and he threw out a runner at third from centre field. Ozuna also
started the ninth-inning rally. He singled with one out off Jake Diekman (2-2),
then took second on a two-out single by Jeff Mathis. Pinch hitter Reid Johnson
reached on an infield single that Diekman bobbled, sending Ozuna to third and
bringing Yelich to the plate. "Im thinking, Dont leave me here," Ozuna said. "He
did a good job." Yelich grounded a 1-1 fastball up the middle. "It was fitting
to get Yellie up there at the end," Redmond said. "He has been in a couple of
sits where he has had a chance to get a big hit and hasnt come up with one. I
was sitting there thinking, This would be a perfect day for him to get a big
hit, and sure enough he did." Marlins closer Steve Cishek (4-1) struck out two
with a runner at second to end the ninth. The Phillies went 1 for 7 with runners
in scoring position, with Byrds homer the lone hit. With the Phillies trailing
1-0, manager Ryne Sandberg let Hamels bat for himself in the seventh. He then
gave up a single and Ozunas eighth homer on an 0-2 pitch to start the bottom of
the seventh. Ozuna had been batting .113 in May before his breakout in the past
two games. "When he gets hot, hes as good as anybody," Redmond said.
Jimmy Rollins singled in the third to take over sole possession of second place
on the Phillies hit list with 2,218. He trails on Mike Schmidt, who had 2,234.
