The Phillies were able to jump out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Hunter Pence hit into an RBI groundout. The Marlins answered in the bottom of the second when Omar Infante and John Buck hit back-to-back RBI doubles. Stanton's solo home run in the third made the score 3-1.
After Juan Pierre scored on a wild pitch in the top of the sixth, the Marlins were able to put the game away when Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth.
