Miami 3 at Philadelphia 4 - Recap

PHILADELPHIA -- In the Philadelphia Phillies' longest game this season, pinch-hitter Jimmy Paredes played hero in the 13th inning with an RBI single to deliver a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Friday night.

Both teams had opportunities to score in extra innings.

Miami loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the 11th, but J.T. Realmuto grounded out to end the threat. The Phillies put their first two men on in the bottom of the 12th before a strikeout and double play killed that rally.

It was 10 minutes before midnight -- four hours and 43 minutes after the first pitch had been thrown -- that Paredes delivered the winner, driving home Peter Bourjos, who had singled to open the inning in his first at-bat of the game.

Miami's Derek Dietrich played spoiler for the home crowd, tying the score at 3 in the top of the eighth with his first career pinch-homer, a shot to right field off Phillies reliever Edubray Ramos.

That undid the sixth-inning momentum of the Phillies, who had gotten some much-needed juice from slugging first baseman Ryan Howard.

Howard's 22nd home run of the season, just right of center field, sparked a three-run rally that drove Marlins starter Tom Koehler from the game and put the Phillies up 3-2 after six innings.

It was the type of home run that Howard has hit plenty of in his career, a no-doubt bomb to near straightaway center field, disappearing into the Citizens Bank Park seats. This particular one, No. 379 in his career, moved him into a tie for 70th on Major League Baseball's career list, equaling Hall of Famers Orlando Cepeda and Tony Perez.

Howard's home run only cut the deficit in half, but an RBI double by Odubel Herrera and a fielder's choice groundout by Aaron Altherr against the Marlins' bullpen gave the Phillies their first lead of the game.

Miami first got on the board in the fifth inning, when a close play at first base turned into a two-run turn at bat.

Dee Gordon's dribbler up the first-base line was fielded by Howard, who lunged at the base as Gordon slid in. Though Howard's tag beat Gordon to the bag, Phillies pitcher Adam Morgan was called for interference as he jumped over Gordon to avoid contact after rushing over to cover the play.

Gordon stole second base to become the fourth Miami player in scoring position of the game -- and the first to score, which he did on a Martin Prado double two batters later.

That was the end of the road for Morgan (2-10, 5.49 ERA), who was pulled after 4 1/3 innings in which he gave up seven hits. He was tagged for two unearned runs -- Realmuto picked up a two-out RBI single off reliever David Hernandez -- with four strikeouts and two walks.

Koehler also didn't factor into the decision, lasting two batters into the sixth before he was pulled. Koehler, who was 2-1 with a 1.29 ERA in four earlier starts this season against the Phillies, was charged with two runs and five hits in five-plus innings.
