Unfazed by the Washington Nationals’ potential Opening Day lineup, Pablo López and Wei-Yin Chen carried a perfect game into the eighth inning Saturday night. Adam Conley nailed down the save in the 2-1 victory.
The FITTEAM Ballpark crowd in West Palm Beach had very little to cheer about through two hours of action. That Marlins’ trio combined for eight strikeouts while issuing zero walks and faced just two batters over the minimum despite matching up with Trea Turner, Anthony Rendon, Juan Soto and more of Washington’s stars.
