PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins will be hoping for better results away from home after opening their road schedule with a rough loss.
Phillies manager Gabe Kapler got booed in the home opener when he pulled Nick Pivetta in the sixth inning with a shutout intact, but the move worked out this time as the Philadelphia bullpen held on Thursday for a 5-0 win over the Marlins.
Maikel Franco homered, tripled, singled and drove in four runs to boost the Phillies.
A week ago, in his first game as a big league manager, Kapler took out Aaron Nola in the sixth with a 5-0 lead after just 68 pitches.
