PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies winning streak against the Miami
Marlins was bound to end eventually.
Ryan Quigley Jets Jersey . Ed Lucas homered
in the 10th to give the Marlins a 4-3 lead Wednesday night. The Phillies loaded
the bases with one out in the bottom of the inning to put Miami closer Steve
Cisheks major league-best saves streak in danger. They could not score, however,
as Roger Bernadina struck out and Freddy Galvis grounded out to seal the Marlins
victory that snapped a seven-game losing streak to their divisional rival. "It
was frustrating at the end -- second and third and no outs but we couldnt
execute," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. The homer was the fourth of the
season for Lucas. Miamis Giancarlo Stanton tied the game 3-3 in the sixth inning
with a two-run, homer to centre field that was measured at 460 feet. "It was a
slider slightly down and in," Sandberg said of Lucas homer. "A pitch youd want
back, but it wasnt a hanging pitch." Brad Hand (1-1) was credited with the
victory for pitching a scoreless ninth. Cishek was shaky in the 10th but picked
up his 31st save overall and 26th in a row, the longest active streak in the
major leagues and one shy of the Marlins franchise record set by Todd Jones in
2005. Cesar Jimenez (1-1) took the loss for Philadelphia, which is 7-2 in its
last nine home games. "Everybody is playing as a team, rooting for each other
and playing good baseball," Sandberg said. A couple of Phillies miscues in the
fifth inning set up the Marlins first run. Following Adeiny Hechavarrias single,
Nathan Eovaldi reached first base on an error when catcher Carlos Ruiz fielded
his sacrifice bunt attempt and threw too high to second. Luis Garcias wild pitch
moved the runners to second and third with one out, and Hechavarria scored on
Donovan Solanos groundout. The Phillies loaded the bases in the bottom of the
inning on two walks and a single and tied it on a passed ball. Chase Utley drove
in two runs with a single to right. The Phillies blew an opportunity to take the
lead in the eighth. Domonic Brown led off with a double and moved to third on a
groundout. After Cody Asche struck out, Bernadina hit a liner toward shortstop
but Hechavarria made a diving stop to preserve the tie. "The shortstop made an
unbelievable play," Sandberg said. "We had it in the outfield. Hes some
athlete." Utley finished the series against the Marlins with six hits and 10
RBIs. "Hes swinging a good bat, showing power and showing his leadership,"
Sandberg said. "Hes a real steady force and will be a big piece for next year."
Eovaldi struggled with his control through five innings, allowing three runs,
four hits, four walks and a hit batter while striking out five. In his first
major league start since August 2009, Zach Miner tossed three scoreless innings
for the Phillies and allowed two hits, walked two and struck out two. NOTES: The
Phillies are 11-5 against the Marlins this season. The clubs have one series
left, a three-game set next week in Miami. ... An MRI on RHP Kyle Kendrick,
Philadelphias original Wednesday night starter, revealed nothing more than
shoulder tendinitis. He will get a second opinion Thursday but could pitch again
as soon as next Tuesday. ... After a day off Thursday, Philadelphia will host
the Mets for three games starting Friday with Cole Hamels (8-13, 3.48) on the
hill.
