2 game series against the Florida Marlins

The past first games in the last few series have been defeats for the Phillies. They then win the next two games, winning the overall games.  Hopefully tonight's game changes things.
Cliff Lee got roughed up on Friday in the first game against the Marlins in Florida at Turner Field.  He along with the rest of the team spotted Florida a three-run lead in the second inning, but he allowed 10 hits and six runs in just 3 1/3 innings to lose it.  This defeat was Lee's worst since 2009.


The first three runs in the game were scored in the first and second innings, two in the first and one in the second. 


Saturdays game was postponed due to weather conditions.


Last night's game was a victory over the Marlins. winning by a score of 3-2. 
The outcome of Sunday's game was decided in the 8th inning by Carlos Ruiz, who sacrificed a fly to center field allowing Ryan Howard to score, giving them a one run lead. 
Polanco hit the first run of the game, hitting a home-run in the bottom of the first.
