PHILADELPHIA — Walker Buehler pitched five scoreless innings as the Phillies beat Miami 1-0 on Thursday night, eliminating the Marlins from the wild-card race.
After hitting a team-record eight homers Wednesday night in an 11-1 victory that wrapped up a first-round bye, the Phillies scored the lone run on Alec Bohm’s first-inning groundout, scoring Harrison Bader.
Buehler (10-7) allowed three hits and three walks and hit a batter. Taijuan Walker followed with two innings of relief, Matt Strahm pitched the eighth and, after an hour-long rain delay, 40-year-old David Robertson finished for his second save.
Janson Junk (6-4) took the loss.
