Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber Homers Help Phillies Overwhelm Marlins 16-2

Phillies Offense Explodes in Victory

The Philadelphia Phillies offense erupted for a season-high 16 runs on Saturday, crushing the Miami Marlins 16-2 to extend their winning streak to four games.

Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber led the offensive onslaught, each belting a home run and driving in multiple runs. Turner finished the day 3-for-5 with four RBIs, while Schwarber went 2-for-4 with three RBIs.

Marlins Struggle to Keep Pace

The Phillies jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, scoring four runs in the first inning and adding five more in the second. The Marlins never recovered and managed just two runs on seven hits.

Marlins starter Edward Cabrera lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks. The Phillies bullpen was dominant, allowing just one hit over the final 4 2/3 innings.

Phillies Continue to Surge

The win moves the Phillies to 45-42 on the season, just 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the NL East. The Phillies have now won six of their last seven games and are starting to heat up in the playoff race.

The Phillies will look to continue their winning ways on Sunday when they wrap up their series with the Marlins. Ranger Suarez will start for the Phillies, while the Marlins will send Pablo Lopez to the mound.
