The Braves hammered one of the best pitchers in baseball on Saturday afternoon.
If there was ever a match-up between the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins in which the Braves were supposed to lose, it was one between Jose Fernandez and Lucas Harrell. However, Atlanta exploded for nine runs on Saturday afternoon and Harrell provided stellar work as the home team prevailed by a 9-1 final score.
The aforementioned Fernandez entered Saturday's game with a pristine 2.28 ERA on the season, but the talented right-hander allowed nine runs (six earned) in just 5.
