PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Adalberto Mendez pitched one-hit ball for six scoreless innings in his major league debut before injuring himself, and the Florida Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 Monday in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
Mendez (1-0) left in the seventh after straining his right quad running to first base on a single. He slowed down and hobbled to the bag before he was helped to the dugout.
The Phillies, who’ve been held to one hit three times already this season, finished with three overall.
Mike Stanton and Chad Tracy homered and Dan Uggla drove in three runs for Florida.
