After leaving Saturday’s game against the Cardinals, Rea said, “Just kind of felt something in my elbow and it gradually got worse throughout the game”. David Phelps followed Rae to get the win pitching 2.2 innings, only giving up one hit, two walks and had four strikeouts.

St. Louis Cardinals’ Matt Bowman pitches to the Miami Marlins during the ninth inning of a baseball game, Sunday, July 31, 2016, in Miami.
Aledmys Diaz, who was an All-Star last month in his rookie year, had to be taken out of the game after being hit by a pitch on his throwing hand.
“He simply tried to pitch me inside”, Diaz said in Spanish.
“Very impressive, so it just solidifies our rotation a little bit more and makes an even better team than we already are”.
Stephen Piscotty, with help from a Marlins error, tied the score with a double in the eighth inning. “I made mistakes in the middle of the plate against a really good lineup and paid the consequences”. “It might not be anything serious; we’ll wait to hear in a couple of days”. Martinez was able to minimize the damage with a double play, one of three he coaxed from the Marlins’ No. 2 hitter, Martin Prado.
Andrew Cashner allowed one earned run in six innings in his debut for the Marlins.
The Marlins scored four runs in the first, sparked by Ozuna’s two-run home run – his 19th.
“‘O’ puts us up by four early and then we were able to add on, which is nice because they have a unsafe club that can put some runs on the board quick”, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “It’s a great young team and I’m just here to do my part”, Cashner said.
Harrell (3-2) gave up three runs and four hits – including solo home runs to Eric Hosmer and Drew Butera – in six innings.
Stanton obliterated a 98 miles per hour fastball for a double in the fourth, and later scored on a Realmuto single to extend the Marlins lead to 4-2. “I don’t think it was anything personal”. Cashner, the centerpiece of Miami’s seven-player trade Friday with San Diego, walked none and allowed four hits, including a homer by Greg Garcia. On the next pitch, J.T. Realmuto stroked an RBI single to give Miami a 3-0 lead.
PHILLIES 9, BRAVES 5 Jeremy Hellickson pitched into the sixth inning and drove in the go-ahead run with a two-run double to help visiting Philadelphia beat Atlanta. However, manager Mike Matheny opted to stay with regular starter against the Miami Marlins for Saturday night’s game.
Rarely has a newcomer gotten a more welcoming show of support than Rea received from Marlins hitters, who staked him to a four-run lead in the first inning. Martinez has only allowed three extra-base hits to right-handed batters this season.
The Cardinals scored an unearned run in the second when first baseman Chris Johnson misplayed a grounder and Molina came home from second with two out.
