THE SKID CONTINUES The Phillies assured themselves of a ninth-consecutive season-series victory with Friday night's 14-2 win, improving to 10-7 against Miami this year (now 11-7). Miami has not won a season series against the Phillies since going 10-8 in 2008. The clubs tied 9-9 in 2009 before Philadelphia began its winning streak in 2010. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the winning streak for the Phils is tied with St. Louis over Colorado (including this season) for the second-longest active streak in the Majors, behind a 12-year streak for the Yankees over Minnesota (including this season).

Dietrich has been hit by a pitch once every 22.89 plate appearances in his career. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that is the highest rate among active players and the highest rate of any player who debuted in the Modern Era (since 1900, minimum 2,000 PA). Dietrich's rate of 26.45 PA per HBP this season is the second-highest among MLB hitters qualified for the batting title, behind Brandon Nimmo (24.05). Dietrich's rate this season is also the highest in Club history for a player qualified for the batting title.

That is tied with Baltimore and Texas for the most outfielders with an assist during that stretch (seven each). For the season, the Marlins have recorded 26 outfield assists, surpassing their total from all of last year. Only Pittsburgh (30) and the Cubs (28) have more among NL squads this season, whil Cincinnati also has 26. CATCH & HIT J.T. Realmuto hit his 21st home run of the year Friday night, extending his single-season career high. His 18 home runs as a catcher rank as the second-most by a Marlins backstop in Club history, one behind Charles Johnson's 19 in 1997. His 60 RBI when behind the plate are the fourth-most in a single season in Marlins history, behind Ivan Rodriguez (82 in 2003) and Johnson (69 in 2001 and 63 in 1997). ALL AROUND ANDY Brian Anderson leads all Major League rookies in games (145), at-bats (552), runs (80), average with RISP (.366), and on-base percentage (.353); ranks second in hits (149), doubles (31), walks (58), and multi-hit games (43); ranks third in average (.270) and slugging (.395); ranks tied for third in triples (4); and ranks fourth in RBI (59).
