Atlanta Braves Evan Gattis hits a solo home run against the Miami Marlins during their game in Atlanta on Sunday, Aug. 31, 2014.ATLANTA – The last time Alex Wood started against Miami at Turner Field, he pitched eight strong innings before losing 1-0 to Jose Fernandez.
More than four months later, even though Fernandez is out for the season with an elbow injury, Wood enjoyed a little payback.
“It’s probably a little different because going against Fernandez, he’s got electric stuff,” Wood said. “It’s always fun going against guys like that. But this will probably top it just because we came out on top.”
Wood struck out 12 in eight dominant innings and Evan Gattis homered to help the Atlanta Braves beat the Marlins 1-0 on Sunday.
Miami had gone 60 games without getting shut out, the longest active streak in the majors.
