Heroes and Zeroes: Miami Marlins 4, Arizona Diamondbacks 0

Adam Conley pitched a gem, and the bullpen finished the job. The Marlins have now won 10 of their last 11 games en route to a 15-12 record.

Heroes

Adam Conley (+0.265 WPA)

Conley pitched five and one-third innings striking out six and allowing only three baserunners.  He was pulled in the top of the 6th in favor of Bryan Morris after 88 pitches.

Derek Dietrich (+0.091 WPA)

Derek Dietrich started the Miami Marlins off with an RBI single in the second inning.  He almost got another RBI in his second at bat in the fourth inning, when he smoked a ground ball along the third base line with Chris Johnson on second base.  Unfortunately, Brandon Drury made an incredible diving stop to limit Dietrich to a single and prohibit Johnson from scoring.

David Phelps (+0.070 WPA)

Phelps came in the eighth inning and held the Diamondbacks scoreless.  He struck out one batter and allowed one hit.

Zeroes

Brandon Drury (-0.125 WPA)

Despite Drury's fantastic diving stop in the fourth inning, he struggled at the plate.  Drury went hitless in four at bats.

Paul Goldschmidt (-0.105 WPA)

Who would have guessed Goldschmidt would be a "zero" twice in this series?  Goldschmidt went hitless in four at bats, striking out twice and also grounding into a double play.

Chris Owings (-0.083 WPA)

Owings also went hitless, striking out once.  He left two men on base.
