But Hand, who had just one start under his belt since June 8, managed to cool down both hitters. The two both went 0-for-4 on Sunday after combining to go 22-for-48 (.458) during the first six games of the homestand.
"[Hand] threw well, and unfortunately, we couldn't get it done," said second baseman Jace Peterson. "It seemed like every ball we hit to the outfield they caught."
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez echoed the sentiment about Miami's outfield, which deployed Gold Glovers Christian Yelich and Ichiro Suzuki in left and right, and Cole Gillespie in center.
