Aaron Nola gave up two of the home runs en route to his second straight loss.
Rhys Hoskins belted his sixth homer in his 12th big-league game for the Phillies.
The Marlins had 10 extra-base hits, including four homers, en route to out-hitting the Phillies, 14-8. The Phils did hit five homers.
The Phillies are 2-5 against Miami this season and 45-78, worst in the majors, overall.
Starting pitching report
Nola (9-9) had his second consecutive poor outing after racking up 10 straight strong ones and a 1.71 ERA over that span. Nola was tagged for nine hits, including four doubles and two homers, and seven runs in 6 1/3 innings. He gave up seven hits and five runs in his previous outing in San Francisco.
MLB
Miami right-hander Dan Straily gave up just two hits — one was a two-run homer by Hoskins — and three runs over six innings to improve to 8-8. He had his second 10-strikeout game against the Phillies in three starts this season.
Bullpen report
Ricardo Pinto surrendered a three-run homer to J.T. Realmuto in the ninth.
Miami's Dustin McGowan gave up three late homers as he turned a big lead into a not-so-big lead.
At the plate
The Phillies hit five home runs.
Hoskins scorched a liner over the center-field wall with a man on base to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead in the first inning. Cameron Rupp homered for the third time in his last three games to tie the game at 3-3 in bottom of the fifth. Cesar Hernandez and Tommy Joseph each had a solo homer, and Andres Blanco had a pinch-hit, two-run shot in the ninth.
Joseph snapped an 0-for-18 skid with a double in the seventh. His homer in the ninth was his first since July 28.
Nola gave up a walk and a single to open the seventh. He then surrendered a long, three-run, pinch-hit homer to Ichiro Suzuki as the Marlins broke a 3-3 tie. Giancarlo Stanton hit his majors-high 46th homer two batters later, also off Nola. Marcell Ozuna added a two-run homer in the inning against Jesen Therrien. Realmuto clubbed the Marlins' fourth homer, a three-run shot in the ninth.
