MIAMI (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) — After a strong couple of series’ over the past week, the Miami Marlins came back down to earth on Monday afternoon.
Right-hander Zach Davies recorded his first major-league victory, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-1 victory over the Marlins.
Milwaukee pounded Miami pitching for 15 hits. Three Brewers players had multiple hits, including third baseman Hernan Perez, who had three hits and three RBIs. Catcher Jonathan Lucroy also had three hits, including two doubles, and left fielder Khris Davis slugged his 18th homer of the season.
Marlins manager Dan Jennings, who was arguing against a call on left fielder Derek Dietrich, was tossed from the game in the seventh inning, his third ejection this season.
