The Miami Marlins achieved their 21st comeback win of the season, rallying from a 6-0 deficit to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-6 on Wednesday. Griffin Conine hit a go-ahead, pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning, a blast that ultimately secured the victory.

Otto Lopez, Heriberto Hernandez, and Xavier Edwards each contributed two RBIs to the Marlins' effort. Lopez got Miami on the board in the fifth, followed by a home run from Hernandez. Lopez and Edwards added RBIs in the seventh to tie the game at 6-6.

Tyler Zuber (1-1) earned the win in relief for Miami, with Pete Fairbanks recording his 15th save. Jonathan Bowlan (2-1) took the loss for Philadelphia. Trea Turner and Bryce Harper had key hits for the Phillies, but their early lead was not enough.
