Wei-Yin Chen picked up his first Marlins win with a strong 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits with four strikeouts. His biggest trouble came on solo homers by Yasiel Puig and Trayce Thompson in the fourth inning. The Dodgers were prepared for the southpaw with a starting lineup completely devoid of left-handed hitters, but they couldn’t make enough of a dent to get the win.

His ERA still stands at a respectable 3.22, but it was also raised for the third consecutive game since his seven no-hit innings in San Francisco on April 8 in his big league debut.
