PHILADELPHIA — Edmundo Sosa hit three of the Phillies’ team-record eight home runs, Kyle Schwarber had two to pad his National League lead and the Phillies wrapped up a first-round bye with an 11-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
Assured one of the top two seeds in the NL, the East champion Phillies (93-65) will open the postseason at home Oct. 4 in a best-of-five Division Series.
Schwarber hit Nos. 55 and 56. Schwarber also doubled and singled. Philadelphia hit seven homers against Atlanta on Aug. 28, with Schwarber getting four of them that night.
