Braves pitcher Matt Marksberry is no stranger to Turner Field.
So, it came to no surprise when he was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday to replace pitcher Aaron Blair.
“It is a great feeling and the opportunity is always good to come and help the team out,” Marksberry said on Saturday.
Blair was sent down after posting a 10.22 ERA in his last eight starts. He also surrendered eight home runs and 20 walks in his last 34 1/3 innings.
