Peter O’Brien homered and drove in three runs as the Miami Marlins blunted Philadelphia’s bid to draw closer in the NL East with a 6-4 win Sunday.

The Phillies remained 6 1/2 games behind division-leading Atlanta, which lost to Washington, with two weeks left.

Nick Pivetta (7-13), who has won only one of his last 11 starts, struck out seven in the first three innings. O’Brien’s two-run homer in the fourth inning put the Marlins ahead for good at 2-1.

“(Pivetta’s) stuff was electric early,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. “I think the only hard-hit ball that comes to mind for me was the home run to O’Brien.

“It looked like he was going to roll and he ran into a little bit of a buzzsaw there.”

Miami ended a five-game losing streak. Bryan Holaday added a pair of doubles.

Urena (7-12) allowed one run and three hits through a five-inning stint for his third straight win. He left early because of cramping in his pitching hand.

Urena is 4-0 with a 2.16 ERA over his last five starts dating to Aug. 19, when he was pitching under appeal of a six-game suspension he’d incurred for hitting Atlanta rookie Ronald Acuna with a fastball. He later dropped the appeal, and hasn’t lost since.

The cramping, Urena said, was caused by throwing too many curveballs with a new grip he’s been using.

“I will be fine,” he said later. “It’s gone away. … I threw a couple of curveballs. I kept (the hand) open then because if I squeeze it, it probably gets worse.”

The Marlins scored three times in the sixth against Luis Garcia for a 6-1 lead.

With runners at the corners and no outs, O’Brien hit a long fly to right field and Odubel Herrera — more accustomed to playing in center — had the ball bounce out of his glove before he smacked his head against the fence. The Phillies wound up getting a forceout at second base as a run scored.

Herrera left the game in the seventh.

Down 6-2, Philadelphia scored twice in the ninth, helped by a two-out error by second baseman Starlin Castro. Rhys Hoskins struck out with a runner on to end it.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Marlins: Urena was pulled for precautionary reasons.

Phillies: 3B Maikel Franco missed his fourth straight start because of pain in his right shoulder. He flipped over a rail and into a camera well last Tuesday.

KLENTAK’S VIEW

Before the game, Phillies GM Matt Klentak was asked if he thought several veteran acquisitions he made before and after the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline could have worked against clubhouse chemistry down the Phillies’ sad stretch.

“Whatever it is that caused us to go into a team-wide slump in August is not limited to one factor,” he said. “It’s probably some kind of combination of a lot of things. I will not sit here and tell you the chemistry changed in such a way that that is the reason we struggled. I don’t believe that,” he said.

UP NEXT

Marlins: Begin a two-game home set against the Washington Nationals on Monday. They will send RHP Trevor Richards (3-9, 4.85) against RHP Erick Fedde (2-3, 5.12) in the series opener.

Phillies: A three-game home series against the Mets starts Monday with RHP Jake Arrieta (10-9, 3.66) facing RHP Zack Wheeler (11-7, 3.23).
