Miami Marlins starting pitcher Nate Eovaldi (24) works in the first inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta, Saturday, Aug. 10, 2013.ATLANTA – Evan Gattis blames himself for not getting his catcher’s mitt lower and keeping Adeiny Hechavarria from scoring on a wild pitch.
Had he done so, the Atlanta Braves might still have a long winning streak, but Gattis says the team’s goal now is to win the three-game series.
“Yeah, man, we had a good run,” Gattis said. “I hate that it ended.”
The Braves’ 14-game winning streak ended Saturday night with a 1-0 loss to the last-place Miami Marlins, who scored on reliever Jordan Walden’s wild pitch in the ninth inning.
Miami stopped its own six-game skid.
