Schwarber hits 23rd homer of season, Sánchez pitches 8 sharp innings to lead Phillies past Marlins
Associated Press
MIAMI (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the eighth, Christopher Sánchez pitched eight sharp innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Thursday night.
Sánchez (6-2) allowed five hits, one run and struck out four. Philadelphia took three of four in the series.
Schwarber put the Phillies ahead in the eighth when he connected on a 1-0 sinker from reliever Anthony Bender (1-5), crushing it 428 feet to right-center. Schwarber has 23 homers on the season, only trailing Shohei Ohtani (25) for most in the National League.
Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera had his best start of the year, limiting the Phillies to one run and two hits while striking out five in a season-high 6 1/3 innings. Cabrera received applause from Marlins fans when he walked off the mound in the seventh after throwing his 82nd pitch.
Nick Fortes opened scoring for the Marlins in the fifth when he singled in Dane Myers, who hit a leadoff double.
The Miami bullpen could not preserve the lead after Cabrera was lifted. Cade Gibson came in with one on and one out in the seventh and loaded the bases on a single, wild pitch and hit by pitch. Gibson managed to limit the damage to one run that tied it at 1.
Orion Kerkering finished for his second save of the season. Key moment
Otto Kemp raced home from second on an infield single from Bryson Stott in the ninth but was thrown out at the plate. Key stat
Sánchez lowered his ERA to 2.87. Up next
Both teams start home series Friday. RHP Zack Wheeler (7-2, 2.76 ERA) is on the mound for Philadelphia against the New York Mets. RHP Janson Junk (1-0, 2.78) will go for Miami against Atlanta.

Chelsea will look to extend their unbeaten run at the Club World Cup tonight as they face Flamengo in Philadelphia. The Blues opened the campaign with a routine 2-0 win over LAFC, courtesy of goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez. Advertisement If the match itself was unremarkable, it was made more memorable as newly signed striker Liam Delap debuted, just weeks after joining from Ipswich in a £30million deal. He had an instant impact, too, assisting Chelsea's second of the afternoon. He is in line to make his full debut tonight, and could do so alongside the former Strasbourg pairing of Mamadou Sarr and Andrey Santos. A win would all but see them through to the knockout stages of the competition. Brazilian side Flamengo took all three points from their opening tie against ES Tunis, winning 2-0 after goals from Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Luiz Araujo.
