Dan Straily started the season late due to injury.
He hopes more performances like he has lately will lead him to a strong finish.
Straily pitched seven scoreless innings and gave up only three hits, to help the Marlins to a 2-0 shutout of the host Atlanta Braves on Friday at SunTrust Park.
It was the longest of Straily’s four outings so far this season since returning from a left forearm strain that delayed his season debut until April 30.
