ATLANTA (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins are starting to resemble the team that many thought they would be in 2015.
Dan Haren needed one inning to get used to home plate umpire Alan Porter’s strike zone.
Once he started hitting his spots, Haren built momentum to keep Atlanta’s hitters guessing.
Haren had two walks in the first. He approached the umpire after the third out to discuss pitch location.
“I just asked him where he had them,” Haren said. “He said they were close. I told him, `I’m going to stay right there and keep pounding it.
