Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-1\">Edmundo Sosa hit three of the Philadelphia Phillies&#8217; franchise-record eight home runs in a resounding 11-1 victory over the visiting Miami Marlins on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-2\">Kyle Schwarber added two homers &#8212; his 55th and 56th of the season &#8212; while Bryson Stott, Otto Kemp and Alec Bohm also went deep for the hosts. Sosa enjoyed a career day in his first game back off the 10-day injured list after recovering from a groin strain.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-3\">The Phillies (93-65), who had lost four of their previous five games, clinched a first-round playoff bye with the win.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-4\">Philadelphia had hit seven homers in a game four times, mostly recently on Aug. 28 against the Atlanta Braves. The other times were in 1998, 2018 and 2021.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-5\">Not to be overshadowed, Philadelphia starter Jesus Luzardo (15-7) struck out 10 without a walk over seven terrific innings. He allowed just an unearned run and three hits, becoming the second National League pitcher to 15 wins, joining Freddy Peralta of the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-6\">Eric Wagaman had two of the five hits and the only RBI for Miami (77-81), which had won its previous seven games. Marlins starter Ryan Weathers (2-2) gave up five runs and six hits in 4 2\/3 innings. He fanned eight and walked two.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-7\">With his team trailing 1-0 in the third inning, Schwarber launched a solo homer against Weathers. With his 23rd homer against a left-handed pitcher this season, Schwarber set a major league record for homers by a lefty against southpaws in a single season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-8\">Sosa and Stott homered in the fourth against Weathers as the hosts pushed their lead to 3-1.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-9\">In the fifth, Philadelphia put a pair of baserunners on against Weathers before Miami summoned Lake Bachar out of the bullpen. Sosa welcomed him by launching a shot into the seats in left to extend the lead to 6-1.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-10\">The Phillies erupted for four more home runs in the seventh, as they twice went back-to-back against Valente Bellozo. Schwarber&#8217;s 468-foot blast began the huge inning, and Bohm followed with a shot to left-center.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-11\">Two batters later, Kemp belted a two-run shot into the left-center field seats, and then Sosa&#8217;s line drive over the wall in left made it 11-1.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-12\">&#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadspin | Phillies rout Marlins with record 8 homers, clinch first-round bye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":98260,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
