The Phillies dropped their final game of the year against the Marlins by a score of 3 to 2. The loss allowed the Marlins to win the series 2 to 1 and in the process kept Cole Hamels from reaching his 100th career win. Yet another dormant night from the offense cost Hamels the opportunity to hit triple-digits in the win column, but he did record strikeout number 200 on the season.
Hamels was solid in the start, throwing six innings total while allowing two runs. After allowing a walk and a single to start the second, Adeiny Hechavarria smacked a triple to plate two runs for the Marlins. Hamels would settle down after that, allowing only five hits in the appearance while striking out six, but was lifted early for a pinch-hitter with the Phillies trailing.
Cesar Jimenez came on to pitch the seventh, throwing a scoreless frame while walking two. Ethan Martin came on for the eighth and surrendered the winning run to the Marlins, as he collected the loss.
While the Phillies did collect ten hits on the evening, they failed to convert those hits into runs, as only one went for extra bases. The Phillies tied the game at 2-2 in the seventh. Darin Ruf doubled and was followed by a Kevin Frandsen single to put runners on the corners with one out. Freddy Galvis would single home Ruf to narrow the Phillies deficit to 2 to 1 and Cesar Hernandez would single to plate the tying run.
The Marlins would regain the lead in the eighth and the Phillies had no answer in the ninth, as they lost their 86th game.
The Phillies will now head to Atlanta to close their season out with a four-game series against the Braves. Tyler Cloyd will make the start for the Phillies in the series opening contest.
