Bryson Stott and Cristian Pache each added an
RBI single while Trea Turner had two hits and two stolen bases
for the Phillies. Nick Castellanos also contributed two hits and
an RBI.
Wheeler (1-0) gave up five hits and one run with eight
strikeouts and no walks.
Craig Kimbrel threw a scoreless ninth inning, working around
Josh Bell's leadoff double to earn a save.
"It's definitely a home-field advantage," Turner said during a
postgame interview on ESPN. "It's been electric all year. In the
postseason, it's turned up a notch."
Bryan De La Cruz hit an RBI single while Bell had three hits for
the Marlins.
Miami starter Jesus Luzardo (0-1) lasted four innings, allowing
eight hits and three runs with five strikeouts and no walks.
Luis Arraez singled with two outs in the eighth inning, but
Philadelphia reliever Jeff Hoffman induced a soft grounder by
Jorge Soler that led to a forceout.
Castellanos then hit an RBI double in the home half of the
eighth for a 4-1 lead.
The Phillies had runners at second and third with no outs in the
first, but Bohm lined out to right and third base coach Dusty
Wathan opted not to have Kyle Schwarber tag up from third. Bryce
Harper then struck out and J.T. Realmuto flied out to center to
end the threat.
Jesus Sanchez singled to left to open the third for the Marlins'
first hit. Jon Berti struck out and Nick Fortes grounded into a
double play.
"We had a chance a few times to score a couple runs, just
couldn't get the two-out hit," Marlins manager Skip Schumaker
said. "But I think the story was (Zack) Wheeler. He was just
excellent."
The Phillies went ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the third when Bohm
ripped his RBI double down the third base line.
Philadelphia took a 2-0 advantage in the fourth thanks to a
run-scoring single by Stott. Marlins center fielder Jazz
Chisholm Jr. threw out Castellanos at home on the play. But
Pache then hit an RBI single of his own for a three-run lead.
Bell doubled with one out in the seventh and Chisholm struck out
looking. Jake Burger hit an infield single to put runners on the
corners, and De La Cruz followed with an RBI infield single to
close his team within 3-1. Jose Alvarado replaced Wheeler and
threw a wild pitch but struck out pinch hitter Yuli Gurriel to
end the inning.
