MIAMI -- Once Giancarlo Stanton got Miami on the board, the Marlins quickly grabbed control against the Philadelphia Phillies.Stanton drove in two runs, Tom Koehler pitched six innings of three-hit ball and the Marlins beat the Phillies 5-0 on Tuesday night.Stantons two-out RBI single in the sixth snapped a 24-inning scoreless streak for Miami. He also had a ground-rule RBI double in the Marlins four-run eighth.Big time right there with two hits, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. The first one obviously was kind of relief from the standpoint that we hadnt scored in a while and you feel like hopefully theres a chance we would open it up a little bit and then the next one opens up the floodgates for us and gave us a little breathing room.Adeiny Hechavarria tacked on a two-run single in the eighth, and Miguel Rojas had an RBI double.We needed to get some energy going, Stanton said.Ichiro Suzuki made his first start in five games and went 1 for 5, giving him 2,997 career hits. He also stole a base and scored a run.This is not a guy thats just treading his way to 3,000, Mattingly said. This guy has been helping us big-time all year.Suzuki had an extra-base hit taken away in his first at-bat when Peter Bourjos made an impressive catch in right-center. But Suzuki had a leadoff single to left in the eighth.It livened up the place up a lot when he got that hit so it was definitely a big help to us, Stanton said.Koehler (8-8) also beat Philadelphia in his last start, when he allowed three runs, one earned, in eight innings. He is 2-1 with a 1.29 ERA in four starts against the Phillies this season.Just stuck to the same game plan that me and Jeff (Mathis) had last time and was able to execute pitches, Koehler said.Koehler struck out five and walked one. He threw 73 pitches before leaving with minor stiffness in his pectoral area.We thought no way were taking any chances with where were at pitching-wise with having to bring some guys up and thought we would be cautious with any situation at this moment, said Mattingly, who expects Koehler to make his next start.Mike Dunn, David Phelps, and Nick Wittgren closed out the four-hitter with a scoreless inning apiece.Philadelphia right-hander Jerad Eickhoff (6-12) allowed one run and five hits in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked one.The only thing positive I can say about this game I thought Eickhoff was outstanding, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. He hit his spots and pitched like a pitcher should until the end. Im very happy about that.The Phillies best opportunity to score was in the sixth inning. They put two on with one out, but Koehler was able to get out of the jam with two popups.Hes impressed me because Ive seen him in the past and Ive been unimpressed, Mackanin said, but these last two times, weve helped him out. ... Swung at too many bad pitches.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: Bourjos (right shoulder) left in the second inning after crashing into the outfield wall on the catch he made on Suzuki. Im sore right now, Bourjos said. Ill see how it feels in the morning. There were no fractures so thats good news. Its just sore and stiff right now. In a few days out, hopefully its doing better.Marlins: Closer A.J. Ramos (finger) was not available after jamming his finger in Mondays game. Were going to be cautious with him, Mattingly said. ... 1B Chris Johnson (left foot) was a late scratch from the starting lineup, but did make a pinch-hit appearance in the eighth and was intentionally walked, but did not run the bases. Johnson fouled a ball off his foot in Saturdays game.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP Zach Eflin (3-3, 3.40 ERA) will start the series finale Wednesday afternoon. Eflin is coming off a three-hit shutout at Pittsburgh. The 22-year old rookie is 3-1 with a 1.80 ERA over his past four starts.Marlins: LHP Adam Conley (6-5, 3.58 ERA) will take the mound looking to cap his best month of the season.

Penguins Jerseys 2020 .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. EVANSTON, Ill. -- After missing all of last season following shoulder surgery, Vic Law has returned like someone looking to make up for lost time.Law scored a career-high 26 points -- his second straight game establishing a new mark -- to lead Northwestern to an 86-72 victory over Eastern Washington Monday night in a Legends Classic opening-round game.Law, who had 19 points in the season opener, was 7-for-13 from the field.I just thought he played with great confidence, coach Chris Collins said. I really liked how he attacked the basket.Law, a 6-7 redshirt sophomore, was expected to be one of the Wildcats top players this season, though Collins wasnt sure what to expect at the start.I know hes really good, but I was a little apprehensive, the coach said. Its not easy sitting out a year and jumping right back in.Bryant McIntosh had 18 points and Scottie Lindsey and Dererk Pardon each added 12 as Northwestern improved to 2-0.Bogdan Bliznyuk led Eastern Washington (1-1) with 25 points on 10-for-18 shooting.

The Eagles were wiithin six points (53-47) early in the second half, but that was as close as they would get -- although Northwestern never was able to open a comfortable margin.ddddddddddddIm really pleased with how we played, Eastern coach Jim Hayford said. I wish we could have played the first 10 minutes like we played the last 30 minutes.We definitely leave here with great respect for Northwestern, and I think we earned some respect from them as well.SHARP SHOOTINGAfter going 1-for-7 from the free-throw line in the opener, Law was 9-for-10 on Monday.I think the first game I missed all the free throws so I could set a new career high tonight, he said jokingly.BIG PICTUREEWU: The Eagles were picked to finish fifth in the Big Sky in a preseason poll of media covering the conference following last season 18-16 finish. If nothing else, this is a scrappy bunch that played physical on both ends and refused to quit after falling behind early on the road against a Power 5 conference team.Northwestern: Although the season is only two games old, Law clearly has emerged as the Wildcats best player. The redshirt sophomore, who missed all of last season following shoulder surgery, has the versatile game and athleticism to be a threat every night.UP NEXTEastern Washington plays at Texas on Thursday in a game thats also a part of the Legends Classic.Following a pair of home wins, Northwestern plays its first road game Wednesday at Butler.
