Marlins pitcher Brad Hand only made it through three innings Monday, giving up five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two in his team's 9-2 loss to the Nationals.
Hand (0-1) sat in the strike zone throughout the start, allowing the Nationals to get multiple hits in each inning of work. He owns a 6.35 ERA and 9:6 K:BB ratio in 11 1/3 innings over four appearances (two starts). Hand is scheduled to face the Mariners Sunday, but the Marlins could decide to skip his start with the team off Thursday.
