MIAMI, May 9 (UPI) -- Placido Polanco scored the go-ahead run on a botched play at home plate Monday and the Philadelphia Phillies registered a 6-4 win over Florida.
Trailing 3-1, the Phillies scored three in the third when Joe Blanton, Jimmy Rollins and Polanco all singled to load the bases, Ryan Howard drove in Blanton with a single and Ross Gload drove in Rollins with a two-out single. Rollins scored when the throw from left fielder Emilio Bonifacio sailed over the head of catcher John Buck, and Polanco then scored when pitcher Javier Vazquez (2-3) -- who was covering the plate -- mishandled catcher John Buck's throw from the backstop.
Gload added another RBI single and Rollins socked a solo homer for first-place Philadelphia, which began an eight-game road trip with a win.
Blanton (1-1) got the win despite yielding eight hits over five innings while surrendering three runs and Ryan Madson picked up his fourth save.
Gaby Sanchez hit a bases-empty homer and drove in three runs for Marlins, who fell three games behind the Phillies in the National League East.
