Shane Victorino drove in four runs, Jamie Moyer pitched six solid innings and the Philadelphia Phillies extended the Florida Marlins' skid to six with a 13-2 victory on Sunday.
Florida, which began the season 11-1, is mired in its longest losing streak since an eight-game slide from Aug. 15-22, 2007. The Marlins' latest loss got so out of hand that outfielder Cody Ross pitched a scoreless ninth inning.
Moyer (3-1) allowed one run and seven hits to improve to 7-0 at Dolphin Stadium and 12-1 against the Marlins overall.
Pedro Feliz had three hits, two RBIs and scored two runs for Philadelphia.
Graham Taylor (0-1) lasted just 3 2-3 innings in his major league debut for Florida. He walked six and hit a batter with a pitch while allowing four runs and four hits.
Marlins pitchers combined for 11 walks, two hit batters and a wild pitch — and that was before Ross limited Philadelphia to an infield single in the ninth. Ross started in right and had three hits and a diving catch.
Victorino's two-run single sparked a four-run seventh off Hayden Penn that made it 8-1. The Phillies batted around and were helped by two walks, a hit batter and right fielder Jeremy Hermida's two-base error on Jayson Werth's fly.
