Marlins Fall to Phillies in 13

The Phillies scored the game-winning run in the 13th inning to beat the Marlins 4-3 on Friday

The Miami Marlins fell to the Philadelphia Phillies in 13 innings by a final score of 4-3 on Friday.

A.J. Ramos served up the winning run after exceptional relief work from several pitchers including Fernando Rodney. Miami's bullpen combined for six scoreless innings before the 12th and Rodney was responsible for 1.2 of them. Rodney allowed no hits and struck out one in his time. Ramos worked a scoreless 12th, before running into trouble in the final inning.

Tom Koehler pitched well for the Marlins until his final inning of work. With the Marlins up by two runs, Koehler was charged with a pair of runs in the sixth inning. Philadelphia would add another run off Mike Dunn to take a one-run lead heading into the seventh.

Koehler ended up going five innings in which he allowed two runs on five hits. The right-hander walked three, allowed five hits and struck out seven. Koehler ended up with a no-decision for his effort.

With the Marlins trailing by one in the eighth inning, Derek Dietrich hit a pinch-hit home run. The homer was the fifth of the season for Dietrich and his first career HR as a pinch-hitter. With the home run, the game was all tied up heading into the bottom of the eighth.

Miami was 2-13 with runners in scoring position and left 15 men on base along the way.

Jose Urena will start for Miami on Saturday in the second game of the series.
