MIA 3, ATL 6; Elieser’s struggles cost the Marlins a series win

In the final game of a crucial 3-game set against the Atlanta Braves, the Marlins lost, 6-3. Elieser Hernandez is the losing pitcher and Max Fried is the winning pitcher for the Braves.

Hernandez immediately got off to a poor start by giving up back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the first inning to Marcell Ozuna and Austin Riley. He also gave up an RBI double to William Contreras in the next inning, extending the lead to 3-1. Ozuna provided more insurance for the Braves with another massive 458-foot blast in the third.

Elieser did attack the strike zone at a good rate, but maybe too much which led to all the hard contact.
