Marlins starter Pablo López was not long for Friday's game against the Braves after hitting Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr. with his first pitch. As the latest episode in what's been an ongoing feud between Miami pitching an Acuña, López was granted no leeway and was ejected by umpire Dan Iassogna.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly was also ejected. López was replaced by Ross Detwiler.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly was also ejected. Acuña has devoured Marlins pitching in his young career, and unsurprisingly has admired his work while doing it. He's hit .330/.426/.700 with 20 homers in 51 games against Miami.
