MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The first leg of the Citrus Series went to the home team.
Jose Urena and three relievers combined on a four-hitter Wednesday afternoon, and the Miami Marlins shook off the hangover from a 16-inning loss to beat Tampa Bay 3-0.
J.T. Riddle singled, tripled and homered.
The teams took the field barely 12 hours after the Rays won a 5½-hour marathon. But Urena was well-rested in his first outing since June 20, when he was sidelined by right shoulder impingement.
Urena pitched five scoreless innings and struck out six before departing for a pinch hitter after throwing 78 pitches.
