Bryson Stott's home run tonight

The Phillies' series opener wasn't a run fest by any stretch of imagination and it was only a late surge from the visitors that saw them reach the five-run mark with a total of eight runs scored in the game.

Only one player managed to go deep in the game and it was Philadelphia's second baseman, Bryson Stott. The 26-year-old, who opened the scoring for the Phillies in the first inning with an RBI single off Adam Oller, punished the Marlins starter in the sixth inning with a solo home run over the right field fence, his 11th home run of the season.

Kody Clemens followed up with a two-run double in the same inning. The Phillies capitalized on a wild pitch by Anthony Veneziano to score the fourth run of the inning. The Marlins responded by racking up a run in the seventh and eighth inning but Phillies closer Matt Strahm kept it cool in the ninth inning to earn a save and claim the win for his team.
