PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins have been an afterthought over the past two seasons thanks to a franchise rebuild, but the franchise is starting to show signs of serious life.
Indeed, manager Don Mattingly likes the progress he is seeing from the youthful Marlins.
Phillies manager Gabe Kapler thinks he has the right pieces, too — even if that’s a tough sell right now to frustrated fans in Philadelphia.
Rookie right-hander Jordan Yamamoto won for the third time in three career starts, Garrett Cooper and Brian Anderson hit consecutive homers, and Miami beat Philadelphia 6-4 Sunday for the Phillies’ seventh straight loss.
