ATLANTA -- Even though Kolby Allard will be sent back to Triple-A Gwinnett following Tuesday's start, that didn't stop the 20-year-old left-hander from garnering a few firsts in the big leagues.
Some wet Georgia weather at SunTrust Park nearly kept Allard from making his Major League debut with the Braves, and by 9 p.m. ET, the rain was still coming down as he made his way out to the mound to face the Marlins.
After giving up back-to-back singles to open the game, Allard settled in with his four-seam fastball, which remained in the the high-80s and low-90s throughout his first start in the Majors.
