Marlins Avoid Sweep on Otto López’s Two Homers as Phillies Lose Trea Turner to Hamstring Strain

Philadelphia leaves Miami with a series win ahead of a four-game visit from the Mets.

Overview

  • Otto López went deep twice and drove in four to lead Miami past Philadelphia 5-4, snapping a five-game skid.
  • Philadelphia still took the set 2-1 after Saturday’s 4-2 win powered by a first-inning two-run homer from Bryce Harper.
  • Trea Turner hit a solo homer Sunday before exiting with a right hamstring strain, an initial team diagnosis that will be evaluated further.
  • Jesús Luzardo logged six strong innings Saturday for his 13th win and his first against Miami since his trade to the Phillies.
  • Kyle Schwarber, the NL home run leader with 49, added a ninth-inning RBI single Sunday as the Phillies return home to open a four-game series Monday with Aaron Nola slated to start.
