On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Miami Marlins by a score of 5-0. Phillies manager Gabe Kapler's decision to remove starting pitcher Nick Pivetta in the sixth inning with a shutout intact, a move that had led to boos in the home opener, paid off this time as the Philadelphia bullpen successfully held on to preserve the shutout victory.
