Duvall's 3-run homer helps Marlins beat Phillies 9-6

MIAMI (AP) — Adam Duvall hit a three-run homer and Jesús Aguilar drove in two runs with a double and a single to help the Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-6 on Monday night.

Corey Dickerson hit a tiebreaking two-run triple in the sixth, and Garrett Cooper had two hits and an RBI off the bench for the Marlins. They've won five of their past six to close within one game of the NL East-leading New York Mets.

Miami rookie Trevor Rogers allowed three hits and two runs, one earned, in five innings, which increased his ERA to 1.75. Adam Cimber (1-1) pitched a scoreless sixth, and Dylan Floro retired the only batter he faced for his first career save.

Zach Eflin (2-4) allowed four runs, three earned, in six innings.

Phillies slugger Bryce Harper, whose 0-for-16 slump has dropped his OPS to .884, was held out for the second game in a row.

“He has been scuffling a little bit,” manager Joe Girardi said before the game. “Sometimes a couple of days off help.”

Duvall hit his ninth homer in the seventh off Brandon Kintzler. Duvall is batting only .220 but has 33 RBIs and came into the game tied for sixth in the National League in that category.

Aguilar ranked second in RBIs and now has 35.

The score was 2-all in the sixth when Duvall reached on an error by shortstop Ronald Torreyes. Duvall went to third on a hit-and-run single by Jon Berti, and Dickerson cleared the bases.

Miami scratched out a run in the second with a walk, a bloop double by Dickerson and Sandy León's sacrifice fly.

Brad Miller hit his 100th career homer for the Phillies in the ninth, and Jean Segura had a two-run double.
