Friday’s game: Right fielder Scott Van Slyke homered twice and drove in five runs while playing in half of the Marlins’ 6-4 win over the Cardinals. “That was fun,” he said. “It was good to be on time for a couple of pitches.” Van Slyke added that he has shortened his swing after struggling through a couple of injury-plagued years. … Lewis Brinson doubled and made a diving catch in center, the stuff of childhood daydreams for the Coral Springs native. First baseman Jonathan Rodriguez also doubled. … Lefty Dillon Peters tossed two scoreless innings, working around three hits and striking out three. He’s competing for a rotation spot. “I’m showing them everything I’ve got,” Peters said. “I’m not tinkering with anything. I’m going full steam ahead.” … Former Marlin Marcell Ozuna went 0 for 2 with an RBI and a strikeout as the Cardinals’ DH. “Seeing him in red is weird,” Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto said.
