The Marlins faced adversity from the beginning of Tuesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, and things only continued to get worse as the game went on.
Marlins starting pitcher Nick Neidert allowed three hits, two walks, and a hit-by-pitch in the first inning. Before the Marlins even came up to bat, they were already down 3-0.
Neidert seemed to settle down with a 12-pitch inning in the second, but then allowed two solo home runs to Trey Mancini and Freddy Galvis. Command has been an issue for right-hander.
“It was just a lot of balls midline,” Don Mattingly said.
