Brian Anderson and Miguel Rojas each hit three-run homers and the Miami Marlins overcame the late scratch of their starting pitcher and a looming health scare to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-6 on Sunday.

Urena was bumped from his start approximately 90 days prior to the first pitch.  At the time, the reason was not immediately disclosed.

“We’re taking risks every day,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “That’s what the players all around the league are doing. You travel all the time .. it’s a risk that we take. We’re going to have to be adjustable, we’re going to have to be flexible, we’re going to have to be patient.”

Garrett Cooper and Harold Ramirez also were out of the lineup after playing in the first two games of the season-opening, three-game set against the Phillies. Again, the Marlins did not immediately say why the players were not in the lineup. Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro was placed on the injury list with an undisclosed ailment at the start of the series.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said the players were texted early in the day to know that a potential coronavirus outbreak had affected the Marlins.

“You have to be safe. You can’t really be in contact with a lot of people because you put everybody in danger,” he said.

The Marlins have won two of their first three games of the season.
