MIAMI (AP) — Once Giancarlo Stanton got Miami on the board, the Marlins quickly grabbed control against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Stanton drove in two runs, Tom Koehler pitched six innings of three-hit ball and the Marlins beat the Phillies 5-0 on Tuesday night.
Stanton’s two-out RBI single in the sixth snapped a 24-inning scoreless streak for Miami. He also had a ground-rule RBI double in the Marlins’ four-run eighth.
“Big time right there with two hits,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “The first one obviously was kind of relief from the standpoint that we hadn’t scored in a while and you feel like hopefully there’s a chance we would open it up a little bit and then the next one opens up the floodgates for us and gave us a little breathing room.
