MIAMI (AP) — Michael Lorenzen threw a season-high eight innings of two-run ball in his Phillies debut as Philadelphia beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Thursday.Acquired from the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, Lorenzen (6-7) scattered six hits and struck out five.“It’s fun, the guys are great,” Lorenzen said of the defending National League champions. “It’s a good group. Everyone’s really close. I see why they did what they did last year. It’d be fun to make another run.”J.T. Realmuto homered and singled after a bruised right hand forced the Phillies’ star catcher to miss the last two games. Bryce Harper had two hits for Philadelphia, which won three in the four-game series against its NL East and wild-card rivals.The victory also relieved the sting of a 9-8 loss in 12 innings on Wednesday night, when Philadelphia squandered a 5-0 lead and two advantages in extra innings.
