Marlins sweep Phillies, trade talk grows

Entities: Miami Marlins · Philadelphia Phillies · Sandy Alcántara · Javier Sanoja · Venezuelan Heritage Day charity

Overview

The Miami Marlins continued their late‑July surge against the Philadelphia Phillies, turning a franchise‑record 12‑game losing streak into a three‑game sweep. After an 8‑7 walk‑off win that lifted them to 53‑54, the Marlins posted a 1‑0 victory on July 28, with Sandy Alcantara delivering seven shutout innings (his 111th career quality start and a league‑leading 16th of the season) and Kyle Stowers providing the lone run. The win intensified trade‑deadline chatter: Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski is still hunting a right‑handed outfielder, a fifth starter and a high‑leverage reliever, while Alcantara’s market value is being re‑examined.

The series concluded on July 29 with an 8‑6 Marlins win. Heriberto Hernández hit his 16th homer of the year, and Javier Sanoja contributed a double, walk and run. Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo was charged with six runs, ending his bid for a tenth win. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough reiterated a “stay‑the‑course” approach at the upcoming trade deadline, keeping left‑hander Braxton Garrett as a target while retaining Alcantara through 2027.
