Marlins' Tom Koehler: Stifles Phillies in seventh win of 2016

Koehler (7-8) tossed eight innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out five in Thursdays win against the Phillies.

Analysis:

The only two hits Koehler allowed were both home runs, one of which (Ryan Howard's fourth-inning two-run blast) was the result of an error that extended the frame. Thursday marked the fourth start this season in which Koehler limited his opponent to just two hits, and the second time he has done it against the Phillies. Inconsistency has been the problem for the 30-year-old right-hander in 2016, but he's shown the stuff that makes him an attractive arm in a majority of leagues.
