Wei-Yin Chen has been back with the Miami Marlins for a few weeks now, but today was undoubtedly his best start since his return. He went 7 1/3 innings, striking out six. He walked two batters, one intentionally, and allowed only three hits. Unfortunately, the last of those was a Wilmer Difo solo round-tripper that tied the score at one in the eighth.
Chen was lifted in favor of Kyle Barraclough. Barraclough got through the rest of the inning unscathed, despite allowing a walk. Brad Ziegler entered the ninth inning with the score tied at one, and ended up allowing three runs on four hits and a walk.
