Marsh, Bohm and Schwarber homer as Phillies beat Marlins 8-2 behind Luzardo

PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Brandon Marsh, Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber homered,
Jess Luzardo pitched seven strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies
defeated the Miami Marlins 8-2 on Tuesday night.
In a matchup of starting pitchers facing their former teams, Luzardo (6-4) was
on point. He didn't allow a hit until the fifth, and yielded only two runs and
five hits while striking out nine.
The same couldn't be said for Miami's Tyler Phillips, who gave up all three
homers to his former teammates and a two-run triple to Bryson Stott. Phillips
(1-2) permitted eight runs on six hits and three walks in four innings.
Marsh hit his ninth home run of the season, a two-run shot, to expand the
Phillies' lead to 5-0 in the second. It was his fourth consecutive game at
Citizens Bank Park with a home run.
Bohm, who had an RBI single as well, also hit his ninth homer of the season,
crushing a 2-0 sinker from Phillips 447 feet into the left-center seats.
The last time Phillips faced the Phillies last September, he caught a line
drive by Bohm to end an inning, and then showing some emotion as he walked off
the field, he fired the ball behind him and it went in the direction of Bohm.
Phillips later apologized to the Phillies third baseman, saying it was
unintentional.
Schwarber reclaimed the major league home run lead when he hit No. 25 off
Phillips in the fourth. It's the ninth time in his career Schwarber has reached
25 homers in a season, including all five seasons he's played in Philadelphia.
Esteury Ruiz provided the lone runs for the Marlins, hitting a two-run homer
off Luzardo in the seventh.
It was the first time the Marlins have lost consecutive games in June.
Up next
The Marlins will start RHP Sandy Alcantara (6-4, 4.25 ERA) in the finale of the
three-game series against Phillies RHP Andrew Painter (1-7, 6.43) on Wednesday.
