MIAMI MARLINS
84-78 · 3RD IN NL EAST
RECAP: MIA 1, PHI 7; Home run barrage leads Phillies over Marlins Philly hitters homered four times while their fielders turned four double plays.
Excellent in Philadelphia debut Wheeler earned the win versus Miami on Saturday, hurling seven innings and giving up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four.
Impact Toeing the mound less than a week after his wife gave birth to the couple's first child, Wheeler was in complete control throughout his seven innings, scattering five singles and a pair of walks while throwing 57 of 87 pitches for strikes. His only real trouble came in the fifth inning when the Marlins put three consecutive runners on base with a pair of singles and a walk, but Wheeler emerged from the threat allowing only one run by inducing an inning-ending double play. After some initial uncertainty about playing out the season, the 30-year-old now appears determined to take the ball for Philadelphia every five turns. His next start is scheduled for Thursday on the road against the loaded Yankees offense.

Impact Aaron Nola and Sandy Alcantara were tied 1-1 in the sixth inning before Aguilar created some separation with his first long ball as a Marlin. Back in March, there was talk that Aguilar would likely hit cleanup for the team, but he hit second in the opener between Jonathan Villar and Corey Dickerson.

Absence likely virus-related Alfaro's placement on the injured list Friday is likely due to COVID-19, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact The Marlins haven't officially confirmed the reason for Alfaro's absence, but manager Don Mattingly's refusal to address the reasoning for the move directly parallels the non-answers given by teams in other known coronavirus cases. Francisco Cervelli will be the Marlins' top catcher in his absence.
