Miami MarlinsvsPhiladelphia Phillies
MIA 0/PHI 7
Things to say
Phillies blanked the Marlins 7-0 at Citizens Bank Park.
01
opener
Phils took care of business at home, 7-zip over Miami. Felt over by the fifth. Citizens Bank was rocking.
02
key player
Whoever the Phils ran out there was filthy — shutout ball through the heart of that Marlins order, hardly got into trouble.
03
hot take
Marlins lineup looks lost on the road. That's not a 36-37 team, that's worse.
04
deep cut
Bullpen barely had to warm up — starter ate innings and saved arms for the weekend.
05
exit
Phils get a real test next series, we'll see if the bats travel.
The recap
Phillies hung a touchdown on the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park, 7-0, and Miami never sniffed the scoreboard. Without a play-by-play sheet in front of me I can't name the starter, but somebody clearly got into his stuff and kept the heart of the order quiet all night.
Goose egg on the road with the bullpen barely tested - that's a starter cruising, not a manager going to the pen too early. Phillies climb back over .500 territory at 39-33; Marlins drop to 36-37 and limp out of Philly.
