Marlins Blitz Phillies

     The Miami Marlins blanked the Philadelphia Phillies 7-0 at Citizens Bank Park on Friday night. It was the second contest of a doubleheader between both squads which they split. 

     Miami(40-51) moved ahead 2-0 in the first inning. Starling Marte blasted a two-run homer to center field on a 2-1 pitch with Jazz Chisholm Jr. aboard.  

     Philadelphia(45-45) gave up another run in the top of the third. Jesus Aguilar drove in Marte with a single up the middle. 

     The Marlins piled on four more runs in the top of the fourth for a seven-run cushion. Marte doubled to the left-center field warning track for Chisholm to score. Two batters later, Aguilar bashed a three-run homer to left field on a 0-2 count for his 14th home run of the season. Marte and Garrett Cooper scored in front of him on the play.
