MIAMI -- Finally, Brian Anderson is able to enjoy some home cooking.

A core part of the Marlins’ building process, Anderson is an anchor in the middle of the order, playing either third base or right field. But the 26-year-old has not enjoyed much success at Marlins Park.

On Friday night, Anderson belted a two-run home run and added an RBI double in the Marlins’ 6-2 victory over the Phillies in the series opener.

“I think everybody knows that this is a tough park,” Anderson said. “So you've got to stay within yourself, and try to barrel the ball the best you can, and try to aim for the gaps. I was able to kind of sneak one out to right today. Not really changing anything. Just trying to stay with the process, and try to get as many barrels as I can.”

Anderson also continued his success this year off the Phillies, a club he is hitting .348 (16-for-46) against with four home runs and eight RBIs in 11 games.

The Marlins snapped their three-game losing streak and put a halt to the Phillies’ four-game win streak. Last weekend at Philadelphia, Miami swept a three-game set.

“We did a great job of keeping the pressure on,” Anderson said. “We didn't really give them many innings off. It seemed like we always had threats, where we had guys in scoring position, and we were getting hits. Constantly putting pressure on their defense and their pitcher. Guys are putting together quality at-bats. Even if they're not getting hits, they're finding barrels, and they're seeing a lot of pitches and getting into their bullpen.”

Elieser Hernandez gave up two runs and struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings. He held the Phillies without a hit until Maikel Franco’s one-out double in the fifth inning. Pitcher Vince Velasquez connected on his first career home run, a two-run home run to left.

The Marlins struck early off Velasquez, who worked 4 1/3 innings, giving up four runs. Anderson got things rolling for the offense, and JT Riddle added a home run in the seventh inning.

“[Anderson is] a great hitter,” Velasquez said. “Well-located fastball, maybe caught the middle a little bit, and he does what he does best and drove the ball to center field to score the other run. ... He's a great hitter in general. I'm sure his numbers pretty much state why he's good and what he does. He's a tough out to get. It's just one of those things where we've got to continue to figure ways to get him out."

Anderson’s two-run shot to right field was just Miami’s fourth opposite-field home run at home this season. Anderson joined Austin Dean, Jorge Alfaro and Jon Berti in connecting the other way at home.

Per Statcast, the home run was a projected 356 feet with an exit velocity of 96.1 mph. The 11 home runs match his season total from 2018, his first full big league season.

It’s no secret that Marlins Park is a pitchers’ park, and one of the toughest places to homer. Along with its expansive gaps, the park is located at sea level, and the ball generally doesn’t carry well.

In his second full season, Anderson has enjoyed more success on the road than at home. His splits, entering the night, were .230/.331/.322 with three homers and 13 RBIs at home, compared to a slash line of .266/.331/.490 on the road with eight homers and 24 RBIs.

“I feel like Andy put a lot of pressure on himself early on, too,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “We weren't scoring, and 'I've got to do more.' That just doesn't work.”

No matter where Anderson has played, the constant has been his hard-hit rates. His average exit velocity is 90.3 mph, with the MLB average at 87.4 mph. And his hard-hit rate is in the 89th percentile, per Statcast.

Even with his home run, Anderson’s hardest-hit ball of the night was his RBI double in the first inning that hit off the base of the center-field wall. The two-out shot to the deepest part of the park went 414 feet with an exit speed of 105 mph. Harold Ramirez, who walked with one out, scored from first, giving the Marlins the early lead.

“I was just able to take advantage of some mistakes out over the plate,” Anderson said. “[Velasquez is] a guy that I've actually had problems with in the past. Before the game, [I] kind of worked off the machine. He's got a good fastball. I was trying to get on time with that, and try to take advantage of some mistakes, and I was able to get some out over the plate today.”
