Poor Pablo Lopez.
The rookie pitcher for the Marlins should have chosen the name “Hard Luck” for the Players’ Weekend event in which players across the majors picked out the names they wanted to place on the backs of their jerseys.
In what has been a frustrating month for the right-hander, Lopez pitched well enough to win -- allowing one run over 5 2/3 innings -- but took the loss in the Marlins’ 4-0 defeat to the Braves on Sunday. Not only did Lopez pitch well, but produced one of the the Marlins’ only two hits with a third-inning single.
