Recap: Philadelphia vs. Florida
By Sports Network
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Paul Hoover's RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-6 win over the Florida Marlins in their regular-season finale.
With Dan Meyer (3-2) on the mound for Florida to start the 10th, John Mayberry Jr. hit a leadoff single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt. Greg Dobbs struck out before Jayson Werth was intentionally walked, but Hoover hit a sharp grounder to third that Wes Helms couldn't handle, allowing Mayberry to score.
Chad Durbin (2-2) took the win for throwing a scoreless top of the 10th for the NL East-champion Phillies (93-69), who will have home field advantage for their National League Division Series matchup with Colorado.
Miguel Cairo went 2-for-4 with a triple and his first homer in more than four years for Philadelphia, which avoided the three-game sweep and snapped a three-game slide overall. Cairo's last homer came on July 28, 2005, when he played for the New York Mets.
Chris Coghlan concluded his rookie campaign with a 3-for-5 effort, as he scored twice and drove in a run. Since making his debut on May 8, Coghlan has piled up 162 hits.
Helms drove in two for the Marlins (87-75), whose four-game winning streak was broken. Their 87 wins are three more than last season, as Florida has improved in each of its three years under manager Fredi Gonzalez.
