JUPITER, Fla.—The Marlins’ bats were silenced yet again, and dropped Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, 4-0.
The story of the day was Nick Neidert. His Spring Training debut had been a sub-par outing in which he gave up two runs in one inning. Now, the Georgia native and highly regarded right-hander was looking to rebound against his hometown team.
The first inning this afternoon was threatening to look much the same as his last start. He allowed two walks, and only had two 1st-pitch strikes against the six batters he faced.
