"Thanks to Roy Halladay, the Phillies are the only team in the majors with as many complete games as the Marlins, who have three. While Halladay is responsible for all three of Philadelphia's nine-inning affairs, the Marlins' are distributed among three pitchers: Chris Volstad, Josh Johnson and Ricky Nolasco.

``It's a sign we're learning and maturing,'' Nolasco said. ``It's also a sign we're managing pitch counts and managing the other lineup.''

Manager Fredi Gonzalez said it's also a sign Marlins starters are attacking the strike zone, something they haven't done in recent years."
