The Miami Marlins won a second straight game with their 7-2 victory over the New York Mets on Friday.

Wei-Yin Chen started for Miami and had a big night on the mound, but also at the plate. Chen picked up the first hit of his big league career and went six strong innings. Chen ended up with five strikeouts, while also walking one. The lefty surrendered seven hits and one run.
After Chen was lifted, Nick Wittgren and Dustin McGowan combined for three solid innings of relief.

Marcell Ozuna had three of Miami's hits and also walked. The left fielder is hittng a robust .412 this season and now has four runs batted in.
Derek Dietrich had a big game with three RBI and his first triple of the season. Miami's third baseman also added a single, a walk and a run scored.
