The Phillies beat the Marlins 8-2 on Tuesday night in Philadelphia, powered by home runs from Brandon Marsh, Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber. Jesús Luzardo worked seven strong innings, and the Phillies controlled the game from early on. Philadelphia jumped ahead quickly and kept adding to the margin. Marsh’s two-run homer helped stretch the lead, Bohm also went deep, and Schwarber added to the power display as the Phillies piled up runs against Miami’s pitching staff. Luzardo gave the Phillies the kind of start they needed, limiting the Marlins over seven innings and keeping Miami from building any momentum. The Marlins’ offense never really got going, and the Phillies handled the rest with a steady, comfortable finish. For Philadelphia, it was the kind of clean win that shows up in the standings and in the mood around the clubhouse. For Miami, it was another reminder of how difficult it has been to keep pace when the other team starts hitting for power and gets a strong outing from its starter. The final score was decisive, and the game never turned into a late thriller. The Phillies were in control by the middle innings and stayed there all night.
