After the draft

Anderson gives Straily help in his first outing

What the Dolphins lineup looks like now.

MIAMI — Inside the Marlins clubhouse, Dan Straily and Miguel Rojas almost could not be farther apart. Straily occupies the first stall after entering the room, immediately to the right. Rojas is rucked away in the far corner. A pillar, a set of television and a group of couches separate the two players.

But before he made his season debut in a 8-4 Marlins win over Philadelphia on Monday night, Straily bridged the gap with his voice.

“Happy Opening Day,” he shouted across the clubhouse to Rojas.

It came before Miami won a third straight game for the first time this season, a victory that marked the Marlins’ fifth of their last six games. It also came before Brian Anderson’s 3-for-4 night, with his career-high four RBI pacing the offense and his diving catch saving the evening in front of 5,415 fans at Marlins Park. The announced attendance was the lowest in stadium history.

Straily’s shout was a welcome refrain for the Marlins, who housed a cast of unproven and inexperienced starting pitchers in their rotation through April. As Miami trotted out its rotation through the first 27 games of the season, Straily waited. A right forearm strain sidelined him for the first month of the season, pushing his 2018 debut to Monday night.

His return was the latest for a string of Marlins veterans. J.T. Realmuto came back on the last road trip. Martin Prado returned over the weekend, as did Wei-Yin

WILFREDO LEE/AP Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera is unable to catch a ball hit by Derek Dietrich for a double scoring Martin Prado during the third inning.
