Connor Norby slugged a pair of two-run homers and Edward Cabrera pitched seven scoreless innings, leading the host Miami Marlins to a 10-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday afternoon.
Norby has been impressive since being traded by the Orioles on July 30. In 18 games with the Marlins, he has hit seven doubles and six homers.
Cabrera (4-6), who was a late scratch from Friday's start due to a migraine, gave the Phillies a headache on Sunday.
The right-hander was perfect through three innings and had a no-hitter after five. In total, Cabrera allowed three hits and two walks with six strikeouts. It was the second time this year that he pitched seven scoreless frames.
Marlins rookie center fielder Javier Sanoja made his first major league start, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI. The versatile Sanoja, who turned 22 on Tuesday, finished the game playing shortstop.
Philadelphia starter Seth Johnson made his major league debut, and he took the loss, allowing eight hits, three walks and nine runs in 2 1/3 innings.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson saved his bullpen at the end of the game, using catcher Garrett Stubbs on the mound. Stubbs pitched one scoreless inning, allowing just one single.
The Phillies (85-58) and Marlins (54-89) split the four-game series, which is surprising given that Philadelphia is in first place in the National League East and Miami has one of the three worst records in the majors.
Then again, Miami jumped on Johnson right away as leadoff batter Xavier Edwards walked, stole second and scored on Norby's first homer, a 418-foot drive to left-center.
That gave Miami a 2-0 lead just 10 pitches into the bottom of the first.
Sanoja led off the second with a double, advanced on Nick Fortes' groundout and scored on Edwards' sacrifice fly.
The Marlins scored seven times in the third. Miami got RBI singles from Otto Lopez, Griffin Conine and Sanoja. Fortes added a two-run double, and Norby's second homer made it 10-0.
Philadelphia ruined Miami's bid at a shutout, getting an RBI single by Bryce Harper in the ninth.
