PHILADELPHIA -- Jose Fernandez hopped over the foul line on his way back to the dugout after an easy inning, exerting more energy in that step than in his work on the mound. Andre Holmes Jersey . Fernandez pitched one-hit ball and struck out nine in seven dominant innings, leading the Miami Marlins over the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 Saturday night for his first win in the majors. The 20-year-old righty breezed through a tough lineup without flinching, leaving Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria gushing about the rookies future afterward. "Its amazing to get a win, but its more important for the team," Fernandez said. "Theyre a great lineup. I respect their hitters. I try to throw every pitch the best I can." Marcell Ozuna hit his first career homer and Chris Valaika connected for the first time in three years to stop Cole Hamels (1-4). Fernandez (1-2) allowed just a single by Freddy Galvis up the middle in the first. He then retired the next 17 batters. Fernandez walked Galvis in the seventh, and followed that up by striking out Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Delmon Young. "He was great out there," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He commanded the strike zone. Obviously theyre a tough lineup. Im happy for him to get his first win. Hes a worker. He studies film. He makes adjustments. He wants it." Fernandez was lifted after throwing 82 pitches. Mike Dunn worked a perfect eighth and Steve Cishek finished off the one-hitter to get his fourth save in five tries. Fernandez mixed a deceptive curve with an overpowering fastball, baffling hitters from the start. He got eight of his strikeouts swinging, including seven against Philadelphias 3-4-5 hitters. "It was a case of guy with a lot of talent and he was on," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. Fernandez fanned five batters with his curve and four others on fastballs between 95-97 mph. He struck out Howard three times and Utley and Young twice in setting his career high. "I was just ready to pitch," Fernandez said. "I look forward to every start like its the World Series." Hamels was a hard-luck loser again. He allowed two runs and four hits, striking out six in eight innings. Ozuna led off the second with a drive into the left-centre field stands. Filling in for the injured Giancarlo Stanton, Ozuna has a hit in each of his first five games. "This kid is just exciting," Redmond said of Ozuna. "Hes fun to watch." Valaika, a late addition to the starting lineup, connected in the third for his second career homer and first since hitting one for Cincinnati against the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 27, 2010. Fernandez, one of the few bright spots on the Marlins (9-22), has thrown 13 scoreless innings and allowed just three hits against the Phillies this season. He didnt get a decision in Miamis 2-1 win over Philadelphia on April 13. Hamels, who signed a $144 million, six-year contract last July, isnt getting ace-like results this year. The Phillies are 1-6 when he pitches and he has a 4.34 ERA. Hamels, however, has five straight quality starts and an ERA of 2.31 in that span. The Phillies have scored just nine runs in those five outings. Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, the Phillies other two high-priced aces, have fared only slightly little better. The Phillies are 5-14 when the $64.5 million trio of Hamels, Halladay or Lee start. Theyre 9-3 when Kyle Kendrick, John Lannan and Jonathan Pettibone start. "Ive pitched a few years," Hamels said. "Its a matter of being comfortable on what you can do. You make adjustments and eventually things will change." Hamels escaped a scary moment in the seventh when he snared Miguel Olivios hard liner back to the mound. Hamels caught the ball inches in front of his face. NOTES: Marlins 2B Donovan Solano was scratched from the lineup because of tightness in his left side. He had started all 30 games. ... Marlins OF Austin Kearns was excused from the team and will be placed on the bereavement list. ... The Phillies are 10-5 against the NL East, 4-12 against other teams. ... Philadelphia has been shut out five times in 31 games. .. Halladay (2-3, 6.75) tries to bounce back after a rough outing in the series finale Sunday against Miamis Kevin Slowey (0-2, 2.15).

Robert Foster Jersey . No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. http:///...gaines-jersey-online . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Mumbai 29 for 1 trail New Zealanders 324 for 7 dec (Latham 55, Williamson 50) by 295 runs ScorecardSuccessful overseas batsmen in India have often been successful by lofting the ball over the infield. Even in the days of in-and-out fields, when Alastair Cook scored 562 runs including three hundreds in 2012-13, the most runs by a visiting batsman in a four-Test series in India, he relied on the lofted shots both for runs and also to get rid of the close-in fielders. On their first day of play on the Indian tour, New Zealand batsmen used the loft liberally to suggest it will be the shot they will go to often in the Tests.Albeit on a non-threatening track against a non-threatening attack, New Zealanders made their intent clear as everybody apart from Martin Guptill got a hit in in their score of 324 for 7 declared. There was no hanging about either as they gave Mumbai 13 overs to play before stumps, and took a wicket during that period. The declaration gave them a good chance of having a proper second innings.Two of the wickets were retirements to allow others a chance to bat. Incidentally, the two who gave up their batting, Tom Latham and BJ Watling, were the ones who batted at a more sedate pace. Apart from the two, and Henry Nicholls, everybody struck at more than 70. Apart from Guptill, who scored 15, everybody crossed 20, including fifties from Kane Williamson and Latham. Targets in particular were the spinners, whose 49 overs were taken for 230 runs. Two of these spinners were part-timers, and two others yet to make their first-class debuts.Another heartening news for New Zealand will be that their lower order and lower-middle order - crucial on raging turners - was among the runs. Watling looked comfortable in his 21, Mitchell Santner and Mark Craig ran away to 45 and 33 not out, and Ish Sodhi scored a slightly streakier 29.Every batsman that faced spin played the lofted shot early in the innings. That leaves out Guptill, who got out even before spin came on, but he had started the day with a hooked six in the first over of the match. Andre Reed Jersey. A Mumbai attack missing its spearhead Shardul Thakur and with left-arm spinner Vishal Dabholkar - average of 31 - as its best spinner was then punished. Williamson stepped out repeatedly to loft Dabholkar over mid-on. He went back to taking singles once the fielder was pushed to long-on, but went aerial again as soon as Dabholkar called the fielder back up. Latham once swept Dabholkar for four from way outside the off stump. The intent - on a friendly surface against friendly bowlers - was clear.Balwinder Sandhu, with healthy swing but at a gentle pace, was the only shining light for Mumbai. He got the wickets of Guptill and Williamson in the first session with outswingers. As the day wore on, though, Mumbai made more and more use of spinners. Ross Taylor made use of the cut shot before lofting legspinner Parikshit Valsangkar into the sightscreen. Facing his first over of spin, Nicholls came down the wicket to loft left-arm spinner Vijay Gohil for two fours. Santner did the same to Gohil as soon as he came out to bat. Craig reserved the same treatment for Dabholkar.New Zealand had just one three-day warm-up game to get used to the conditions before going into the first Test in Kanpur. As has become the norm world over, the hosts did them no favours by giving them a pitch that looks nothing like the raging turners that teams expect in India nowadays. Also they had a second-string Mumbai side to face with their best players playing for India A in Australia. New Zealanders success with their ploy of using their feet and the lofted shots needs to be seen in that light, but one thing was clear: they showed enough signs they are not here to play passive cricket, which South Africa, at times, might have been accused of in Indias last home season.
