Xavier Scruggs hit his first major league home run and David Phelps pitched six scoreless innings to help the Miami Marlins beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 Saturday night. Miguel Rojas scored on an error in the third, and Ichiro Suzuki doubled down the right field line in the fourth - for his 3,008th hit in the majors to move into 28th place on the career list - ahead of Scruggs' shot into the bleachers in left field. Phelps (7-6) allowed two hits and two walks with nine strikeouts while throwing 96 pitches in six scoreless innings in his fourth start of the season.
