MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Marlins’ Wei-Yin Chen turned in a strong performance despite Friday’s setback to the Phillies at Marlins Park.
Chen (2-7) allowed one run and five hits in six innings, striking out eight — his most since May 2016 — and walking one, in the 2-0 loss against the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies.
At home this season, Chen’s ERA is now 1.83. On the road, it’s 10.47.
Phillies’ Aaron Altherr drove in his first run of July and later started a sensational relay to protect the lead, helping Jake Arrieta.
Arrieta pitched seven innings of three-hit ball.
