ATLANTA -- On paper, the third game of the series between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves on Saturday hardly seems like a fair fight.The Marlins will send right-hander Jose Fernandez, one of the best in the league, against Atlantas Lucas Harrell, who will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as an emergency starter.Atlanta found itself with a hole in the rotation after trading veteran right-hander Bud Norris to the Los Angeles Dodgers this week in exchange for a pair of pitching prospects. Norris, who was nearly designated for assignment after April, got a second chance as a starter when Mike Foltynewicz was placed on the disabled list, and he responded with a 2.15 ERA over four starts.Norris would have been the starter Saturday. His abrupt trade left the club scrambling to find a starting pitcher. The options were limited, with John Gant and Williams Perez already on the disabled list and Joel De La Cruz recalled earlier in the week from Triple-A.Harrell was 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA in nine appearances, five starts, for Gwinnett. In his starts, he did not allow more than three runs. He pitched six scoreless innings in his last start against Charlotte on Sunday.Harrell has major league experience, going 18-33 with a 4.84 ERA over five years. He won 11 games for the Astros in 2012. His last start in the major leagues was in April 2014 with Houston.I think hes a groundball-sinker guy, Braves manager Brian Snitker said. Hes been through the wars, so thats good, and hes been pitching OK down there. Hope he can extend the game for us.Fernandez (10-3, 2.28 ERA) will make his 16th start of the season. He was 2-1 with a 1.67 ERA in four starts in June.Fernandez has been overpowering at times, and he ranks third in the league with 138 strikeouts and averages a league-best 13.1 innings per nine innings. His ERA is fifth in the NL.Im learning, Fernandez said. Im learning a lot how to pitch. I think Im becoming a pitcher, not just a young guy that has a lot of talent that can strike people out.He has been a difficult opponent against Atlanta over the years. Fernandez is 4-1 with a 2.15 ERA in seven career starts against the Braves. This season, he has made one start against Atlanta, but received no decision after throwing seven innings of scoreless, one-hit ball on June 21.Fernandez is coming off a strong seven-inning effort in a 6-1 win over the Chicago Cubs. He struck out 13 batters and fanned each of the Cubs in the starting lineup.I thought he had a really good fastball, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. It seemed like he was able to beat a lot of guys with that, which always sets up his other pitches.Reliever Fernando Rodney joined the Marlins on Friday. He was acquired in a trade with San Diego the previous day. Rodney had 17 saves with the Padres, but he will become the eighth-inning setup man for Miami in front of closer A.J. Ramos, who has 24 saves.Fernando makes us better, Mattingly said. Were totally excited about having him and think that hes a guy whos going to help us out.Rodney did his job Friday, tossing a scoreless eighth inning, but Ramos blew a save for the first time this year by allowing a solo homer to Atlantas Tyler Flowers in the ninth. The Marlins went on to pull out a 7-5, 12-inning win.The Braves won the series opener 8-5 on Thursday. Discount Nike NFL Jerseys .

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Alabamas suffocating defense bottled up LSU running back Leonard Fournette and provided Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts the luxury of a few scoreless quarters to get accustomed to deafening Death Valley.Hurts finally escaped the grasps of LSUs stingy defense on a 21-yard touchdown run that broke a scoreless tie early in the fourth quarter, and No. 1 Alabama remained unbeaten with a 10-0 shutout of the 15th-ranked Tigers on Saturday night.You can talk about winning ugly and maybe it wasnt always pretty, because we certainly didnt execute and do things the way wed like, but youve got to give LSU a lot of credit, Alabama coach Nick Saban said. It was a tough atmosphere for us out there. But our defense was outstanding.Saban could have used any number of superlatives to describe his defense, which didnt let LSU run a play from inside the Crimson Tide 30.Weve got some pretty hateful guys that play defense around here that are pretty good competitors, Saban said. When they get challenged a little bit, they usually respond and I think they responded really well tonight.The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 1 CFP) won for the sixth straight time against LSU (5-3, 3-2, No. 13 CFP), and remained alone in first place in the SEC West -- a game ahead of Auburn.Hurts, a freshman who has exceeded expectations by establishing himself as one of the most dynamic, explosive players in college football, was the games leading rusher with 114 yards on 20 carries. He also completed 10 of 19 passes for 107 yards.He has great poise. I dont think the stage is too big for him at all, Saban said about Hurts. He expects a lot of himself and we expect a lot of him because hes in a role that has tremendous responsibility. He has handled that very, very well.LSU had its share of big plays -- but virtually all on defense, forcing Hurts into an early interception, stopping Hurts on a fourth-and-goal play and forcing him into a third-quarter fumble. But LSUs offense could not capitalize against menacing defensive end Jonathan Allen and Co.We played our butt off on defense but we lose as a team, LSU interim coach Ed Orgeron said. We just couldnt get anything going on offense.The Tigers finished with 125 total yards. Alabama had five sacks, one more than LSUs offense had allowed in any other game this season. Allen, linebackers Rashaan Evans and Ryan Anderson; and end Dalvin Tomlinson each sacked LSU quarterback Danny Etling, while Rueben Foster and Tim Williams combined on a sack.Were just dominating the line of scrimmage, Allen said.Etling completed 11 of 24 passes for 92 yards and also was inteercepted by Minkah Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter on a pass that seemed to sail off target because he was being hit.dddddddddddd The turnover led to a late Alabama field goal. The offense also looked flustered at times. LSU had to burn two timeouts early in the second half to avoid delay-of-game penalties, then was called for delay of game on third down in Alabama territory on a subsequent drive.We just had some miscommunications on what we were trying to do. Unfortunately, that was kind of what bit us, Etling said. We did some stupid things and made some inaccurate throws.SILENT STARFournette, whose 2015 Heisman Trophy hopes faded when he was held to 31 yards on 19 carries in Tuscaloosa last year, had 35 yards on 17 carries. One game after touchdown runs of 78, 76 and 59 yards against Mississippi, Fournettes longest run against the Crimson Tide was 9 yards. Hed declined interview requests in the week leading up to the game, and he didnt speak afterward.Saban explained his teams success against Fournette this way: When you play a great player like that, everybody has to really focus on doing their job. Our guys did it last year. We played a lot of the same stuff that we played a year ago.COACHING CONTRASTWhile Alabama coach Nick Saban improved to 8-3 against his former team since taking over the Crimson Tide in 2007, the result clouded the future of the coaching position at LSU. Orgeron , a popular Cajun whod overseen victories in his first three games since Les Miles was fired in late September, could have emerged as a leading candidate to remain long-term with a victory over Alabama.THE TAKEAWAYAlabama: Orgeron said earlier this week that Alabama might have the best defense in college football history, and it certainly looked like he was on to something.LSU: As much as LSU has tried open up its offense by changing formations and passing more, Etling didnt have the poise, or the blocking, to succeed against Alabama. LSUs running game suffered because of the Tigers inability to throw, and it looked a lot like their losses to Bama when Miles was coaching.POLL IMPLICATIONSAlabama: Alabama continues to strengthen its case as the best team in the nation.LSU: The Tigers might not tumble out of the Top 25 because of how close they played the nations top team, but theyll fall.UP NEXTAlabama: The Tide hosts Mississippi State next Saturday.LSU: The Tigers travel to meet Arkansas next weekend.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
