"By ROB PARENT PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Edmundo Sosa hit three of Philadelphia's team-record eight home runs, Kyle Schwarber had two to pad his National League lead and the Phillies wrapped up a first-round bye with an 11-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night. The Marlins (77-81) saw their seven-game win streak snapped and needed the Mets to lose to the Cubs on Wednesday night to not be eliminated from postseason contention."
"Schwarber hit Nos. 55 and 56 to pull within two of Seattle's Cal Raleigh for the major league lead. Schwarber also doubled and singled. Philadelphia hit seven homers against Atlanta on Aug. 28, with Schwarber getting four of them. Sosa was activated before the game after being out since Sept. 16 because of a groin injury. Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm and Otto Kemp also homered."
Edmundo Sosa hit three home runs as part of Philadelphia's team-record eight homers in an 11-1 victory over the Miami Marlins. Kyle Schwarber hit two homers, raising his season total and narrowing the gap for the major-league lead, and also doubled and singled. The Phillies secured a top-two NL seed and will open the Division Series at home on Oct. 4. Jesus Luzardo struck out 10 over seven innings, allowing three hits and one run. Marlins starter Ryan Weathers allowed five earned runs, including three homers, and Valente Bellozo yielded four homers in the seventh.
