J.T. Realmuto hit an RBI single that capped a three-run rally in the eighth inning off NL ERA leader Sandy Alcantara, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 Wednesday night for their seventh straight win.

JJ Bleday singled, doubled, tripled and drove in a run for Miami, which has lost nine of 11.
