ATLANTA -- One day after he was the game-winning hero as a pinch-hitter, Jose Fernandez was humbled by one of the worst starts of his career.Fernandez gave up two homers and a career-high nine runs and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 9-1 on Saturday.Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Jace Peterson hit a three-run homer in Atlantas seven-run sixth that knocked Fernandez out of the game.Six of Atlantas nine runs off Fernandez were earned, matching the right-handers career high. He allowed eight hits and a walk over 5 2/3 innings.The six earned runs allowed equaled the six he allowed in five starts in June, when he had a 1.67 ERA.Rough day, man, Fernandez said. I just have to put it behind me.Asked about allowing nine runs, Fernandez said, I know its not going to be the last time, Im sure.Fernandez (10-4) drove in the decisive runs as a pinch-hitter in Miamis 7-5 12-inning win over Atlanta on Friday night. Manager Don Mattingly thought about sending Fernandez home early during the extra-inning game -- a common practice in the majors for pitchers before scheduled starts -- but kept him around for his bat.The lopsided loss put a quick end to the feel-good victory from the night before.This game always finds a way to remind you how tough it is, Fernandez said.Mattingly said he thought Fernandez got a little bit winded in the Braves seven-run sixth.It wasnt typical Jose, but I thought he threw the ball good enough, Mattingly said.Lucas Harrell (1-0), recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett before the game, allowed only one run on three hits in six innings as he made his first start in the majors in two years.The Marlins, who began the day third in the NL wild-card standings, fell to 3-8 against the last-place Braves.The four-game series will conclude on Sunday at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in a salute-the-troops game at the military installation.Peterson doubled to left field in the first, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Freemans 14th homer, a high shot caught by a fan on the front row of the center-field seats.Harrell, 31, made his first start since April 15, 2014 with Houston against Kansas City. He made his major league debut with the White Sox in 2010 -- when current Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski was behind the plate.Having Pierzynski added to Harrells sense of comfort.It has been a long road to get back here, Harrell said. I felt like Ive worked real hard. Ive been up and had a little success before. It was just nice because A.J. was with me in Chicago and he knew my stuff and we were on the same page all game.Braves rookie left-hander Dario Alvarez gave up singles to Chris Johnson and Jeff Mathis in the ninth before hitting Dietrich with a pitch to load the bases. Alvarez struck out pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton and Ichiro Suzuki to end the game.11 TO GOSuzukis triple to center field in the third inning drove in Derek Dietrich, who had a leadoff single, for Miamis only run. Suzuki has 2,989 hits in the majors -- 11 from reaching 3,000.LUCKY 13Petersons first-inning double gave him a career-best 13-game hitting streak. He is the only Braves player to have a streak as long as 10 games this season.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour left the game in the sixth inning with a right ankle sprain. He was limping slightly after fielding Chase dArnauds grounder and barely beating dArnaud to the bag -- a call that stood following a review. He remained in the game for two batters before walking slowly off the field. Johnson took over at first base. Bour said his status is day to day.Braves: OF Ender Inciarte was held out with what he says is a minor right groin strain. He left Friday nights game in the sixth inning with the injury. He said Saturday he hopes to play on Sunday.UP NEXTMarlins: LHP Adam Conley (4-5, 3.90 ERA) will look for his second win of the season against the Braves on Sunday at Fort Bragg. He threw eight scoreless innings in a 3-0 win on June 22 in Miami.Braves: RHP Matt Wisler (3-7, 4.14) has a 7.11 ERA in two career games, including one start, against the Marlins.

The Longhorns (14-4, 3-2) got their biggest win of the season with their third in the row in the Big 12. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- It was exactly one year ago as the Los Angeles Angels were about to embark on the second half of the season after the All-Star break that Angels left-hander Hector Santiago was on top of the world.Santiago rejoined the team for the second half after spending a few days in Cincinnati for the All-Star Game. He was 6-4 in 18 games (17 starts) with a 2.88 ERA and had been named to his first major league All-Star Game.Santiago, though, goes into Fridays start against the Chicago White Sox in a completely different situation. He has not been the same pitcher he was the first half of 2015. Since then, he is 9-9 with a 4.96 ERA, including 6-4 with a 4.58 ERA this season.But hes shown enough of what he can do.Santiago shut out the Tampa Bay Rays on three hits over seven innings in his last start July 7 and he likely will be a target for teams looking to make deals before the non-waiver trading deadline on Aug. 1.At 37-52, the Angels are in last place in the American League West, holding a record better only than the Rays and Twins in the American League. Though Angels general manager Billy Eppler refuses to say he will be a seller in the market as the deadline approaches, he uses language that doesnt hide the direction the Angels are likely to go.Well continue to invest, Eppler told MLB.com.

Central race either, trailing division leader Cleveland by seven games.Gonzalezs numbers going in do not look great as he is 2-4 with a 4.39 ERA. Those numbers have improved slightly thanks to two solid starts going into the break.On July 1 against the Houston Astros, Gonzalez gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings though he was tagged with the loss. Then on July 7 against the New York Yankees, Gonzalez threw seven scoreless innings, allowing five hits and one walk in a 5-0 victory.Gonzalez initially wasnt scheduled to get Fridays start; that was going to go to Jose Quintana. But when Quintana was added to the All-Star team as an injury replacement, Gonzalez got the nod.The White Sox are hoping to add a left-handed bat to their lineup and might not have to make a deal to get one. Justin Morneau, the 2006 A.L. MVP signed the club June 9, could be in the White Sox lineup very soon, having recovered from surgery on his elbow.In the meantime, the White Sox will look to be more consistent. They began 23-10, lost 26 of their next 36 before finishing the first half with 12 wins in 19 games.It was good, then it was bad, then it started getting good again, Chicago manager Robin Ventura said.
