In a dominant performance on Sunday, the Miami Marlins triumphed over the Philadelphia Phillies with a score of 10-1. Edward Cabrera was the standout pitcher, delivering seven scoreless innings and allowing only three hits while striking out six batters. His impressive outing was crucial in keeping the Phillies' offense at bay throughout the game. The Marlins' offensive explosion came in the third inning, where they scored seven runs against rookie pitcher Seth Johnson, who was making his major league debut. Connor Norby played a pivotal role in the Marlins' success, hitting two home runs and driving in key runs. This performance highlighted Norby's recent form, as he has been a consistent contributor since his recall from Triple-A. Despite the loss, Bryce Harper managed to secure two hits for the Phillies, including an RBI single in the ninth inning, which marked the team's only score of the game. The defeat was particularly disappointing for Philadelphia, as they were leading the NL East and expected to perform better against a struggling Marlins team. The game also set a record for the Marlins, as they had their 69th player appear in a game this season, tying a major league record. This victory allowed the Marlins to split the four-game series against the Phillies, showcasing their potential as they head into their next series.
