Meyer and 2 relievers combine on 1-hitter in Marlins' 4-0 victory over Phillies

MIAMI (AP) — Max Meyer and two Miami relievers combined on a one-hitter, Xavier Edwards homered and the Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-0 on Saturday.

Meyer (2-0) struck out seven in a career-high seven innings. He gave up a single to Garrett Stubbs in the third and walked Alec Bohm in the fifth for the only baserunners he allowed. His outing ended after 83 pitches.

Anthony Bender and Andrew Nardi each pitched a perfect inning to help snap the Phillies' four-game winning streak under interim manager Don Mattingly.

Edwards also singled for the Marlins and Otto López and Connor Norby each had two hits and drove in a run.

Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber has struck out in each of his nine plate appearances in the first two games of the series. For Schwarber, who fanned four times Saturday, the strikeout skid at loanDepot Park is at 11 games, including his last two at-bats against Venezuela in the final of the World Baseball Classic on March 17.

Philadelphia catcher J.T. Realmuto went 0 for 3 in his return from the injured list. He was sidelined since April 22 because of back spasms.

Consecutive walks to Agustín Ramírez and Norby by Phillies starter Andrew Painter (1-3) with the bases loaded in the third put Miami ahead 2-0.

Edwards made it 3-0 with his solo blast in the fifth, sending a fastball from Painter over the wall in right for his second homer of the season.

Painter allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out seven.

Tanner Banks relieved Painter in the sixth and allowed López’s RBI infield single. Esteury Ruiz hit a leadoff double and Jakob Marsee drew a one-out walk. Both advanced on a groundout before López hit a dribbler over the mound.

Phillies outfielder Justin Crawford was in the original lineup, but was a late scratch because of migraines.

LHP Jesús Luzardo (2-3, 5.50) will start for the Phillies on Sunday against Marlins RHP Chris Paddack (0-4, 6.11).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrés Chaparro drove in three runs and the Washington Nationals snapped Cincinnati ace Chase Burns’ 12-game winning streak, beating the Reds 8-2 on Saturday night.

Rookie Abimelec Ortiz drove in two for Washington. The Nationals have won three of four after dropping a season-worst seven in a row.

Eugenio Suárez homered for Cincinnati as the Reds dropped consecutive games for the first time since July 11-12.

Washington took a 3-2 lead when Dylan Crews opened the sixth with a double and scored on Daylen Lile’s double. Burns (13-2) then loaded the bases before yielding to Sam Moll, who was greeted by Chaparro’s pinch double. Chaparro advanced on a wild pitch and scored when Jacob Young singled.

Burns, who built the fifth-longest winning streak in club history, lost for the first time since April 10. He allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings while striking out six.

Chaparro and CJ Abrams added RBI singles in the eighth.

Clayton Beeter (5-3) worked a scoreless eighth for Washington.

José Tena led off the third with a single to center, then moved up two batters later when Abrams slapped a first-pitch slider down the right-field line for a double. Both scored when Ortiz poked Burns’ 0-2 fastball the opposite way to left.

Nationals starter Andrew Alvarez surrendered a run on three hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings, and was pulled after Sal Stewart’s infield single dribbled off third base. Max Kranick relieved him, and two batters later Suárez ripped a fastball into the visitor’s bullpen in left.

Alvarez has not allowed a home run in his last 51 1/3 innings, the franchise’s seventh-longest streak since moving to Washington in 2005.

Cincinnati RHP Brady Singer (5-10, 4.67 ERA) was set to start Sunday in the series finale. RHP Brad Lord (5-2, 3.81) was scheduled open a bullpen game for Washington.
