Looking at Wednesday’s pitching matchup on paper, where the Marlins sent their top young pitcher Sixto Sánchez who had an ERA of 2.75 up against Braves ace and legitimate candidate for the NL Cy Young Max Fried with a 1.96 ERA, the game was set up to be a low-scoring affair. But that was not the case tonight between these two talented pitchers.
The game started strong for the Fish as Jesús Aguilar and Brian Anderson launched monster back-to-back home runs to gain an early lead against the Braves.
