MIAMI -- —
Griffin Conine hit a go-ahead pinch-hit homer in the eighth,
Otto Lopez, Heriberto Hernández and
Xavier Edwards each had two RBI, and the
Miami Marlins rallied to beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 8-6 on Wednesday.
The Marlins overcame a 6-0 deficit to mark their largest comeback of the season. They had previously rallied from four runs down on
May 9 against the Nationals, and have come back 21 times this year.
Lopez got the Marlins on the board in the fifth, grounding out but driving in
Esteury Ruiz to make it 6-1. Hernández then sent a high changeup from Jesús Luzardo 416 feet to left-center to get the Fightin' Fish within three.
Lopez drove in another with a single in the seventh and Edwards drove in two more with a single of his own to tie the game at 6-all.
Kyle Stowers drew a walk to start the eighth and Conine was sent in to pinch-hit for Brian Navvareto. He connected on a middle-middle changeup and
launched a 424-foot blast to center. It was a homer in 29 of 30 MLB ballparks, per Statcast.
Conine also had a go-ahead pinch-hit homer on
June 29 against the Rockies.

Ryan Gusto worked five innings and allowed six runs on nine hits.
Tyler Zuber (1-1) took the win in relief, and
Pete Fairbanks earned his 15th save.
Jonathan Bowlan (2-1) took the loss for Philadelphia, and
Seth Johnson had a blown save. Luzardo went 6 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on six hits and ending his six-game streak of one or fewer runs allowed.
