Marlins Win Pitchers' Duel, 2-1, Versus Firebirds
In a low-scoring tilt between the Miami Marlins and the Atlanta Firebirds, Ben Anderson, who leads the NL in wins with 13, was the difference-maker. The Miami right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. Anderson, the winner, moves to 13-7. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 1 walk. Dominic Leone earned the save, his 30th in 30 tries.

Sam Jones, who finished 4th in the AL in doubles with 41 in 2021, helped out the Miami cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring ground out. For the game, the first baseman was 1-3 with a double and was hit by a pitch.

"It was a tough night at the plate," said Atlanta manager Barry Larkin.

The first-place Marlins, at 77-53, now lead their division by 2½ games.
