A carbon copy of the series opener through eight full innings, the Marlins bullpen didn’t squander the lead this time. Wei-Yin Chen mowed down the Blue Jays lineup three times over to continue his remarkable season at home in Saturday’s 6-3 win.
The veteran left-hander allowed only two “hard-hit” balls in play—95-plus miles per hour exit velocity—all night. Chen repeatedly pounded the strike zone, getting ahead in the count to two-thirds of opposing batters.

The only run Toronto scored against him was manufactured in the fourth inning following a Devon Travis leadoff double.
