MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) -— Marlins starter Elieser Hernandez (2-7) lasted three innings in Thursday’s 5-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Hernandez gave up three hits — two of them homers — and three runs.
He was relieved by Jarlin Garcia, who departed with one out in the fifth after Atlanta’s Nick Markakis lined a comebacker into his lower right leg and the ball ricocheted into foul ground on the third-base side.
Atlanta rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his 21st home run and got hit by another Miami pitch, though tempers stayed in check this time and the Braves went on to beat the Marlins.
