on Friday when the Atlanta Braves visit the Miami Marlins for the second of a four-game series.The hostility between the teams began on Aug. 15. To that point Josh Rosen Jersey Limited , Ronald Acuna had homered in each of his previous five games. He had also homered four times in the previous three games against Miami.So when Acuna stepped to the plate to lead off the game, the Marlins certainly wanted to shut him down. But Marlins pitcher Jose Urena — who claimed he was just pitching Acuna inside — hit the Braves rookie star with a fastball.Article continues below ...Both dugouts emptied. No punches were thrown, but Urena was ejected and ultimately suspended, making him unavailable for this weekend’s series.Thursday was the first game between the teams since the incident, and the ill feelings returned.Acuna belted a third-inning solo home run, his 21st homer of the season and his seventh against Miami, on Thursday. It had an exit velocity of 105 mph and gave him the home-run lead among all rookies this season.He also has 18 RBIs this season against the Marlins, and his 432-foot monster blow seemed like sweet revenge.However, Acuna was hit again, this time by Marlins reliever Javy Guerra, who lost control of a 94-mph fastball on an 0-2 count.Acuna, who was struck on his right hand, reacted by angrily, tossing his helmet to the ground and glaring at Guerra.“He was just trying to get the ball (inside),” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said of Guerra’s pitch. “There was nothing intentional. It’s over.”However, in the bottom of the sixth, Braves starter Sean Newcomb — who hadn’t hit a batter all season — plunked Miami’s top rookie, third baseman Brian Anderson, with a 94-mph fastball.Anderson was also hit by a 78-mph curve ball in the eighth inning by reliever Jesse Biddle.It remains to be seen if Friday’s game will evolve into a beanball battle. But the focus will surely be on the pitches thrown by Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz (10-7 Authentic Julio Jones Jersey , 2.72 ERA) and his Marlins counterpart, Dan Straily (4-6, 4.60).Foltynewicz, 26, became a first-time All-Star this year. He made his major league debut in 2014 and is now one win away from a career high in victories.He is also pitching his best ball at the moment, with a 1.35 ERA in four August starts, going 3-0 in that span. That includes allowing just one run in eight innings to the Marlins in a 6-1 victory on Aug. 13.A first-round pick of the Houston Astros in 2010, “Folty” has a strong arm and an above-average fastball. On average, his fastball comes in at 96.3 mph, and Marlins batters are hitting .182 in 44 at-bats against him this year.Better yet for the Braves, Foltynewicz has bounced back emphatically from a poor July in which he went 2-3 with a 5.72 ERA.He is 5-1 with a 3.31 ERA in 10 career appearances, including nine starts, against Miami, and he is 2-0 with an 0.69 ERA in two starts against the Marlins this season.Meanwhile, Braves batters are hitting .246 this year against Straily, including home runs by Acuna (of course), Ozzie Albies and Nick Markakis.Straily is 4-3 with a 5.00 ERA in nine career starts against the Braves, and he is 2-1 with a 4.02 ERA in three starts against them in 2018.The Marlins, who managed just five hits — four singles and a double — in Thursday’s 5-0 loss to the Braves — could also be without reliever Jarlin Garcia. On Thursday Julio Jones Jersey Limited , Garcia was removed from the game in the fifth inning when he was hit by a batted ball on his right shin.“He’s hobbling pretty good,” Mattingly said. “He looks like he will be out a little bit.”Regardless, Mattingly paid his respects to the Braves, who are 72-55 and in first place in the National League East, leading the last-place Marlins (51-78) by 22 games.“They have a good lineup,” Mattingly said. “It’s tough to get through there. They have a couple of switch-hitters. They have a bunch of guys who are driving in runs. It’s not just one or two guys. It’s why they are on top of the division. They have production up and down the order.” LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the early going, Rich Hill was perfect. Only he didn’t feel that way.He didn’t like the way the ball was coming out of his hand, even though he wasn’t letting anyone on base.“Around the third inning, the feel started coming around,” Hill said. “The big thing was getting ahead and throwing strikes.”Hill allowed two hits over six shutout innings, Chris Taylor, Justin Turner and Max Muncy homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the San Diego Padres 11-1 on Friday night to snap a three-game skid.Hill (6-4) retired his first 12 batters, seven of them on strikeouts, before Hunter Renfroe doubled leading off the fifth.“There were a few pitches I left out there,” Hill said. “Everything needs to be tightened up as we move to September.”Hill added another strikeout and had one walk on 90 pitches in his first win since Aug. 7 at Oakland. The only other hit the veteran left-hander gave up was a triple to Freddy Galvis in the sixth.“It’s discouraging when you go into a game with a game plan and we swing at fast balls up and out of the zone,” Padres manager Andy Green said. “You’re just not going to get Rich Hill that way. It’s going to take discipline.”The last-place Padres proved the antidote that the slumping Dodgers needed after scoring just six runs while getting swept in three games by St. Louis. Los Angeles had lost nine of its last 12 and 10 of 14, but the victory brought them back to .500 at home (33-33).“Just kind of getting that monkey off our back was big for us and hopefully we can settle down and relax,” Turner said. “Offense is contagious. When it goes good early http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/julio-jones-jersey , it goes really good. When there’s opportunities lost early in the game it builds up anxiety.”The Dodgers pounded out 13 hits and scored in each of the first five innings. Taylor homered on his first pitch from Clayton Richard (7-11) in the third. Turner added a two-run shot on Richard’s first pitch to him in the fourth, extending the lead to 7-0.Richard gave up seven runs — six earned — and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.“It’s extremely disappointing to put your team in the hole like that. I have no excuse,” Richard said. “It stinks to have an outing like that.” Pinch-hitter Muncy slugged his team-high 29th homer, a two-run shot that made it 11-0, in the seventh. The Dodgers have an NL West-leading 179 homers this season.The Dodgers scored four runs in the second on Cody Bellinger’s RBI single, Brian Dozier’s RBI double down the third-base line and Turner’s RBI single.Bellinger’s RBI double and Hill’s RBI single extended the lead to 9-0 in the fifth.The Dodgers’ bullpen completed the four-hitter. Yimi Garcia gave up two hits and allowed the Padres’ lone run on Galvis’ RBI double in the eighth.The Padres have lost nine of 11 and fell to 4-10 against their NL West rivals this season.TRAINER’S ROOMPadres: 3B Wil Myers returned to the lineup, going 0 for 4. He had just one at-bat in the last two games after he was hit in the face by a groundball in batting practice Wednesday. “I felt good,” he said. “No problems with anything.”Dodgers: RHP Daniel Hudson (right forearm tightness) went on the disabled list. … RHP Ross Stripling had his scheduled throwing session pushed back to Saturday, when he will face hitters for one or two innings. … RHP Garcia was reinstated from the DL after missing 43 games with right forearm inflammation.AT HOME ON THE ROADGalvis has hit safely in his last nine games at Dodger Stadium dating to Aug. 9, 2016. He’s batted .400 with six runs, three doubles, a triple, three homers and 10 RBIs.BIRTHDAY BOYDodgers center fielder Enrique Hernandez celebrated his 27th birthday by going 1 for 4 with two runs, a walk and two strikeouts.UP NEXTRHP Brett Kennedy (0-2, 8.36 ERA) makes his fourth career start for San Diego and his second against a divisional foe.
