Chris Volstad tossed six sharp innings and combined with four relievers on a four-hitter, leading the Florida Marlins to a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.

The Marlins, who have the smallest payroll in the majors, took two of three from the NL East-leading Phillies to move within 1 1/2 games of first place. The New York Mets are two games behind.

Volstad (3-2) didn’t allow a hit until pitcher Cole Hamels lined a single to center with two outs in the fifth. The 21-year-old right-hander gave up three hits and four walks in his fifth career start.

Joe Nelson worked the seventh, Arthur Rhodes and Matt Lindstrom combined for three outs in the eighth, and Kevin Gregg finished for his 25th save in 31 chances.
