The Marlins must be very happy it was the Astros that moved to the American League and not the Phillies.
Miami is 4-4 versus the Phillies and 9-28 against the rest of baseball. And while their offense has been more run productive versus the local nine, it's the Marlins pitching that seems to have become the 1969 Orioles when the Phils are batting.
The Fish has a staff ERA of 2.15 against the Phils this season, and an ERA of 4.40 in all other games. The rest of the league's batters are hitting nearly 50 points higher against them.

Before Erik Kratz and Freddy Galvis did so yesterday, the Phillies had never hit back-to-back home runs in the ninth inning or later at Citizens Bank Park ... or Veterans Stadium.
The last time they did so in a home game was May 8, 1970, when Deron Johnson and Don Money connected in the ninth inning of what would become an 8-4, 12-inning loss to the Dodgers at Connie Mack Stadium. Between then and yesterday, the Fightins have clubbed late back-to-backers 10 times, all on the road. That includes doing so on back-to-back nights in Colorado in 1999.
Here are the last 12 instances of Phillies’ back-to-back homers in the ninth inning or later:
| Date | Opponent | Inn. | Batter | Batter | After | Final |
| May 8, 1970 | Dodgers | 9th | Deron Johnson | Don Money | T 4-4 | L 4-8 (12) |

When Jimmy Rollins made his major league debut on Sept. 17, 2000, he walked in his first appearance and then scored the game's first run on a Bobby Abreu homer. Since that point, the Phillies have played exactly 2,000 regular season games and have scored 9,252 runs, and Rollins has been the one to touch home plate 1,200 times, 12.97 percent of the Phils' total.
The Phils' leaders in runs scored over those 2,000 games:

Former Phillie Raul Ibanez is right back at it like he was last fall, having his way with the newest version of Yankee Stadium, this time as a Seattle Mariner.
He picked BoopStats' 50th birthday (Oct. 20, 2012) to have one of the greatest postseason late-inning appearances in baseball history with a pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning to tie an ALDS game with the Orioles and another one to win it in the 12th. He added another homer there in the ALCS against the Tigers.
Now, with three home runs in the first two games there this week, he has six home runs and 13 RBI in his last seven contests there.
