Marlins Defeat Braves 6-2 in Top Prospect Fuentes MLB Debut

The Miami Marlins defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-2 in the opener of their three-game series at loanDepot Park, highlighted by Agustín Ramírez's three-run home run and a strong pitching performance from Janson Junk in his first start. Rookie Braves starter Didier Fuentes, the youngest active player in MLB at 20, allowed four runs in five innings during his debut. The Marlins' defense also shone, with Dane Myers robbing a potential home run from Marcell Ozuna by leaping over the wall. Despite the loss, Atlanta's Ronald Acuña Jr. extended his hitting streak at loanDepot Park to nine games, and Matt Olson continued his on-base streak, which leads MLB. The Braves entered the series after sweeping a three-game series against the Mets and promoting Fuentes, who impressed Braves manager Brian Snitker with his maturity and pitching skills despite an 0-7 minor-league record. The series continues with Grant Holmes starting for the Braves and Eury Pérez for the Marlins in the second game.
