PHILADELPHIA (AP) β Dee Gordon got his 200th hit of the season in Game 1, and Christian Yelich tied a club record with hits in eight straight at-bats as the Miami Marlins won the nightcap 5-2 to complete a doubleheader sweep of the Atlanta Braves Saturday.
Yelich singled in his first three at-bats in Game 2 after going 5 for 5 in a 7-6 Game 1 victory. In the first game, Gordon became the first Marlins player since Hanley Ramirez in 2007 to record 200 hits with a sixth-inning single.
The Phillies were assured last place in the NL East and the first pick in the 2016 draft.
Gordon went 4 for 9 on the day to raise his average to .331. He trails Washington’s Bryce Harper for the NL batting crown by .0001 entering Sunday’s final game.
Justin Nicolino (5-4) tossed seven strong innings to get the Game 2 win.
Alec Asher (0-6) allowed three runs in two innings for the Phillies.
