The Marlins scored a leadoff run off of Sean Newcomb and never looked back, as Dan Straily mystified the Atlanta offense en route to a 5-0 defeat of the Braves in the series opener. Sean Newcomb made his second career start less exciting than his first, but still managed to survive the Marlins offense, lasting six innings while allowing three runs.
Despite some weird radar gun issues that misleadingly indicating that Sean Newcomb was hitting 98-100 miles per hour with his fastball,* the Marlins managed to get to him in the first.
