Two pitchers coming off strong bounce-back starts will square off Saturday when the Miami Marlins visit the Atlanta Braves in the middle contest of a three-game series.
The pitching matchup features Miami right-hander Elieser Hernandez (1-1, 4.22 ERA) and Atlanta right-hander Ian Anderson (1-1, 6.48). Each recovered nicely in his last outing after being shaky in his season debuts.
The Braves won the series opener 3-0 on Friday night in the first meeting between the two teams this season. Since 2016, Atlanta is 72-36 (.667) against Miami.
Hernandez matched his career high by throwing six innings against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday, when he allowed one run on five hits.
