MLB Note - Philadelphia Phillies Leiter, Jr., Mark

Aug 24, 2017 - 8:03 AM RHP Mark Leiter Jr. was stellar on Wednesday night, shutting down the Marlins for seven innings in an 8-0 Phillies win. He carried a no-hitter through five innings, a second-inning walk to Marcell Ozuna his only blemish up until Miguel Rojas doubled to lead off the sixth. The son of 11-year major league veteran Mark Leiter still finished out what was the best of his five big-league starts thus far, going seven innings for the first time while giving up just one hit and two walks while striking out five. Leiter (2-3) lowered his ERA from 4.38 to 3.86.
