Didier Fuentes struggled early on in his major league debut as the Atlanta Braves fell to the Miami Marlins 6-2 on Friday in the series opener. That loss snaps a three-game winning streak, and the Braves lose their first series opener since June 6.
Fuentes pitched five innings, allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three. He threw 58 of his 87 pitches for strikes. His fastball showed some life, sitting around 96 mph and maxing out at 98. His command wasn't always there with it; he missed high in the zone quite a bit.
