MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The first half of the season has not been kind to the Miami Marlins, but they head into the MLB All-Star Break on a positive note.
Dan Haren repeatedly pitched out of jams and allowed only one run in six innings to help the Marlins beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 Sunday.
Miami took three games in the four-game set.
The Reds stranded seven runners in scoring position against Haren, and threatened in all but one inning he worked. They went 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position against the right-hander.
The Reds’ defense was no better, committing a pair of errors that resulted in three unearned runs.
