David Robertson (5-6) earned the win in relief, with Tanner Scott throwing a scoreless ninth inning for his sixth save in nine chances.

Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez tossed five shutout innings and allowed four hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Matt Strahm (8-4) took the loss, allowing Stallings' home run in the seventh for a 3-2 Marlins advantage.

In the ninth, pinch hitter Cristian Pache flied out to left, Johan Rojas grounded out to first and Kyle Schwarber struck out.

The Phillies went ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the first when Turner launched a solo homer to left. It was Turner's first at-bat since he missed two games after being placed on the paternity list.
