Harper hits his 7th homer, Nola works 6 strong innings as the Phillies beat the Marlins 1-0

MIAMI (AP) — Bryce Harper had a homer, double and single, Aaron Nola worked six strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 1-0 on Monday night.

Adolis García had two hits for the Phillies, who took three of four games in Miami and improved to 6-1 under interim manager Don Mattingly.

Nola (2-3) bounced back from two consecutive difficult outings, scattering five hits and striking out five. The right-hander gave up 11 runs and 13 hits over a combined nine innings in his last two appearances.

Tanner Banks relieved Nola and got the three outs in the seventh. José Alvarado followed with a perfect eighth. Closer Brad Keller pitched the ninth around two singles and earned his second save.

Phillies catcher Garrett Stubbs threw out Jakob Marsee in the third inning and Otto López in the fourth on stolen base attempts. It was the first time Stubbs has thrown out two base runners in a game.

Harper put the Phillies on the board with his homer in the third. He drove a sweeper from Marlins starter (2-3) an estimated 393 feet over the wall in right-center for his seventh homer.
