Max Meyer, two relievers hold Phillies to one hit

Max Meyer only allowed a hit in seven shutout innings and Xavier Edwards homered in the host Miami Marlins' 4-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday

Meyer (2-0) faced one over the minimum amount of batters with a walk and seven strikeouts in the longest start of his career. He threw 55 strikes in 83 pitches.

Anthony Bender and Andrew Nardi each retired the side in order in the combined one-hitter.

Otto Lopez and Edwards were had two hits with a run and an RBI and Connor Norby was 2-for-3 with a run batted in for the Marlins, who evened the four-game series at one game each.

Garrett Stubbs got the lone hit for the Phillies, who had their four-game winning streak under interim manager Don Mattingly snapped. Kyle Schwarber was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and has struck out in all eight at bats over his last two games, tying a career high for consecutive strikeouts.

Philadelphia starter Andrew Painter (1-3) gave up three runs on seven hits in five innings with three walks and seven strikeouts.

The Marlins took a 2-0 lead in the third on consecutive bases-loaded, two-out walks to Agustin Ramirez and Norby.

It was the second straight inning Miami loaded the bases with one out with three consecutive singles. In the second Painter got Graham Pauley on a foul out and struck out Esteury Ruiz swinging to end the inning.

Edwards one-out solo homer in the fifth made it 3-0. He drove Painter's 1-1 four-seam fastball into the right-field stands for Edwards' second home run.

Lopez's infield RBI single with two out in the sixth increased the Marlins' advantage to 4-0.

Stubbs singled in the third with one out and was erased on an inning-ending double play.

Justin Crawford was scratched from the Phillies' lineup because of a migraine.

Philadelphia also activated catcher J.T, Realmuto from the 10-day injured list (back spasms) earlier Saturday and designated Dylan Moore for assignment. Realmuto was hitless in three at-bats.
