PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins have become one of the best road teams in the National League.
Marcell Ozuna and Justin Bour hit solo homers, Adam Conley threw six effective innings and the Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 Monday night for their third straight win.
Conley (3-2) gave up one run and eight hits, striking out five. A.J. Ramos allowed a run in the ninth but earned his 12th save in as many tries.
Philadelphia's Jerad Eickhoff (1-6) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. He's winless in his last six starts.
Martin Prado's sacrifice fly in the fifth put the Marlins ahead 2-1.
Bour drove his seventh homer the opposite way to left-center to make it 3-1 in the sixth.
Derek Dietrich had a sacrifice fly off Andrew Bailey in the seventh and Christian Yelich added an RBI double off Elvis Araujo in the inning to increase Miami's lead to 5-1.
Ozuna hit a 2-0 pitch deep way out to left-center in the second for his seventh homer to give the Marlins a 1-0 lead.
The Phillies tied it at 1 on Tyler Goeddel's RBI single in the fourth. Maikel Franco had a sacrifice fly in the ninth, but Carlos Ruiz struck out looking with a runner on second to end the game.
STANDINGS
The Marlins are 16-6 since a 5-11 start. The Phillies have lost two straight, but still are five games over .500.
STREAKING
Ozuna has a 16-game hitting streak, tying his career-high set in 2013.
SAVE THAT BALL
Phillies rookie 1B Tommy Joseph lined a single to center in the sixth for his first career hit. Fans gave him a standing ovation.
GUTSY CALL
Phillies manager Pete Mackanin let Eickhoff pitch to Giancarlo Stanton with two outs and runners on second and third in the third. Eickhoff buzzed Stanton with a 91 mph fastball to fall behind in the count 2-0 before he bounced back to strike out the slugger swinging at a curve.
ROSTER MOVE
The Phillies released veteran catcher J.P. Arencibia from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He batted .167 with one homer.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Marlins: Ozuna and Stanton were in the starting lineup despite feeling sore following a collision in the outfield in Sunday's win over Washington.
Phillies: C Cameron Rupp wasn't in the starting lineup for the second straight game because he has a sore left ankle following a violent collision at the plate to end Saturday night's win. ... INF/OF Cody Asche was 0 for 5 with two strikeouts in his third rehab game at Single-A Clearwater. Asche has been sidelined by a right oblique strain since spring training.
UP NEXT
