The Miami Marlins had no trouble against Cliff Lee as they upended the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 on Friday at Marlins Park. Lee(0-5) went just 4 2/3 innings and surrendered six runs on ten hits. Josh Johnson(5-5) got the win going six innings while giving up one run on four hits and struck out six.
The Marlins jumped on Lee in the first inning when Jose Reyes led off with a double and went to third when Hanley Ramirez flew out to center. Giancarlo Stanton walked then Logan Morrison grounded out to the pitcher for Reyes to score.
Miami extended their lead to 3-0 in the third inning. Ramirez doubled down the left field line with one out. Stanton knocked him in with an RBI-single to left field. Morrison would single to shallow left and Justin Ruggiano singled to left to load the bases for the Marlins. Omar Infante followed with a sacrifice fly to center field and brought in Stanton.
Hunter Pence closed the gap for the Phillies to 3-1 with a lead-off solo home run to right field on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth inning. It was his 15th homer for him this season.
The Marlins added three more runs in the fifth inning. Stanton picked up a single to left field and Morrison smashed a ground-rule double to right center with one out. Ruggiano then doubled to deep center field to score Stanton and Morrison. Following a fly out to right by Infante and a Gaby Sanchez walk, John Buck drove in Ruggiano on a single to left field for a 6-1 lead.
Philadelphia scored a meaningless run in the ninth inning as Chase Utley started with an infield single and went to second on a ground out by Carlos Ruiz. Pence singled into left field was able to bring in Utley.
