Marlins starter Brad Hand did not have a good effort against the Mets on Saturday. The left-hander was unable to make it out of the second inning, as he allowed seven runs on six hits over 1 2/3 innings in the 7-0 loss.
Hand (4-5, 5.20 ERA) was greeted rudely in this one, as Travis d'Arnaud (three-run) and Wilmer Flores went (solo) went back-to-back in the first inning. Juan Lagares added a two-run shot as part of a three-run second inning against Hand.
Hand is 2-3 with an ugly 7.19 ERA over his last five starts.
