Phillies roll seven in ninth, beat Marlins

Shane Victorino hit his first career grand slam to highlight a seven-run rally in the ninth inning against closer Matt Lindstrom, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Florida Marlins, 7-3, on Friday night.

The Marlins took a three-hitter into the ninth and were two outs from a 3-0 victory when pinch-hitter Matt Stairs singled home the Phillies’ first run. Lindstrom walked in a run before Victorino hit his second homer of the year on a 2-1 pitch. Five pitches later, Chase Utley hit his fifth homer.

The rally cost Florida’s Josh Johnson a victory. He gave up three hits in seven innings and struck out eight.

Dan Uggla’s three-run homer in the first gave Florida its only runs. The Phillies have given up at least one homer in all 15 games, extending a major league record to start the season.
