(Photo by Randy Litzinger/Icon Sportswire) The Philadelphia Phillies offense faltered in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader as they fell to the Miami Marlins, 2-1. Sixto Sanchez, the key piece in the J.T. Realmuto trade that took place 19 months ago, dominated the Phillies lineup. He tossed his first career complete game, and the Phillies were unable to take advantage of a strong pitching performance from the trio of Ramon Rosso, Connor Brogdon and David Hale. The Phillies fall to 23-21 on the season, and have two games remaining in this seven-game set against the Marlins.

Rosso pitched very well in his first two innings of work, allowing just one baserunner and striking out three. But he struggled in the third inning, retiring just one batter while allowed two runs on three walks and two hits. He was bailed out by Connor Brogdon, who came in and escaped the jam with no further damage. Brogdon and Hale both pitched very well, keeping the Phillies within one run of the Marlins the whole way. Sixto Sanchez: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 90 pitches Efficiency was one of Sanchez's biggest strengths when he was coming up in the Phillies system, and that continued today. He allowed just seven baserunners in seven innings, and was aided by double plays in the fifth and sixth. Phillies NuggetsPlayer of the Game:Sixto Sanchez Sanchez could not have pitched much better against his former organization. He now has a 1.69 ERA in five career starts, and has a promising major league career ahead of him. Ticket IQNext Game Sunday, Sept. 13 vs. Miami Marlins, Marlins Park.
