A crazy first inning, which included the ejection of Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez, manager Don Mattingly and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr., helped the host Atlanta Braves escape with a 1-0 victory Friday night.
Lopez hit Braves' leadoff man Ronald Acuna Jr. with the first pitchof the game, which prompted a meeting from the umpires and an eventual ejection of Lopez.
Acuna ended up scoring later in the inning on a sacrifice fly from Ozzie Albies, which was enough to edge the Marlins and saddle Lopez with a loss; the first time a pitcher has lost a game throwing just one pitch since Baltimore's Art Schallock in 1955.
