The Phillies took down division rivals the Marlins 9-3 behind a strong outing from ace and Cy Young favorite Cristopher Sánchez. He went 6 innings, allowing just 1 run and striking out 5.

Trea Turner led the way at the plate with 4 hits, while the bottom of the lineup provided the power. Brandon Marsh, Harrison Bader, Max Kepler, and Bryson Stott all homered — with Stott launching a 3-run shot in the 7th to make it 9-1.

With the win, the Phillies stay hot and now hold a 6-game lead atop the NL East.
