The game turned on one swing in the seventh inning. Bryson Stott's three-run homer to right center broke open a close contest and carried Philadelphia to a 6-5 victory over Miami at loanDepot park.
Stott went 1-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored, delivering the decisive blow after Philadelphia had erased a 1-0 deficit earlier in the frame. Zack Wheeler earned the victory with six innings of work, allowing one run on three hits while striking out eight batters. Wheeler improved to 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA.
Philadelphia's seventh-inning outburst began when Sosa singled to right, scoring Harper to tie the game 1-1. Moments later, Stott launched his 386-foot homer, bringing Marsh and Sosa home to extend the lead to 1-6. The five-run frame transformed a tight pitchers' duel into a commanding advantage.
Miami mounted a late rally but fell short. Otto Lopez led the Marlins' offense, going 3-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Lopez drove in runs in both the eighth and ninth innings, but Miami could not complete the comeback. Eury Perez took the loss, allowing two runs over five innings while striking out six.
Philadelphia extended its winning streak to three games and improved to 12-19. Miami's two-game winning streak ended as the Marlins fell to 15-16.
