Minter (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Braves fell 4-2 to the Marlins, allowing two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning.
Entering the game in the top of the ninth with the score tied 2-2, Minter labored to put anyone away, giving up a single to Starlin Castro at the end of an 11-pitch at-bat before Jorge Alfaro took him deep the other way. Minter has looked shaky in his first two appearances since coming off the injured list -- he walked two batters in his first outing Thursday -- but he remains firmly in the late-inning mix for Atlanta, particularly with the club reluctant to use Arodys Vizcaino on back-to-back days.
