So that’s how it’s done: Phillies 2, Marlins 0
Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports Six shutout innings from Vince Velasquez helped the Phillies beat the MarlinsAs Tuesday night’s game begin, I wasn’t enthused about recapping a contest in which the Phillies would be playing the Marlins and had Vince Velasquez as the starting pitcher. Both of those circumstances tend to lead to annoyance, and - especially considering they were fielding a lineup packed with fill-ins - there was a good chance that watching the game would be an exercise in frustration. But Velasquez pitched well, the defense was actually a positive, and Rhys Hoskins supplied just enough offense to lead the Phils to a 2-0 win.
