Nick Margevicius came back for his second big-league stint as the same pitcher he was at the beginning of his first big-league stint.
But what he had been for three starts earlier this season, he was for just three innings on Saturday.
Then suddenly, the 22-year-old left-hander couldn’t get an out, as a number of his poorly placed pitches helped launch the Marlins to a 9-3 victory at Petco Park.
Six straight Marlins batters reached base to start the fourth inning before Padres manager Andy Green came out to remove the rookie.
Margevicius retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced.
