Miami Marlins pitcher Jacob Turner (33) and Donovan Solano fist bump after Turner scores against the Atlanta Braves during the fourth inning of a baseball game Tuesday, July 22, 2014, in Atlanta.ATLANTA – Mike Minor’s struggles are becoming a growing concern for the Atlanta Braves.
Minor had his shortest outing of the season, giving up six runs in only three-plus innings, and the Braves’ late comeback fell short in a 6-5 loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.
Minor (3-6) said he felt strong but “way rustier” as he gave up 10 hits and two walks.
“And that’s not an excuse, either,” Minor said. “I felt good.”
Minor said he threw “pretty good” in the bullpen before the game.
