Jose Fernandez continues to build on last year’s Rookie of the Year season, as he matches a career high with 14 strikeouts over 8 shutout innings in defeating the Braves, 1 – 0. Fernandez allows 3 hits and Steve Cishekadds a perfect 9th inning for the Marlins. Alex Wood is the unlucky loser, as he allows only 4 hits and no walks and strikes out 11 over 8 innings, but a double by Giancarlo Stanton and a single by Casey McGehee in the 4th lead to the game’s only run. The Braves and Marlins combine for 28 strikeouts and no walks; the Elias Sports Bureau reports that this is a record for most Ks without a walk since at least 1900.
