Both of Fowler's hits, including the home run, came off Chen, who has now allowed six solo homers in five Grapefruit League starts. Incidentally, those are the only earned runs he has allowed all spring. Chen, who will open the season as the Marlins' No. 4 starter, finished his five-inning outing on Sunday with a pitch count of 83 (58 strikes).
The closest the Marlins came to scoring a run was in the fourth inning, when Giancarlo Stanton got his first hit since returning from the Classic, smacking a two-out double to deep center field that put Justin Bour on third.
