MIAMI — Last week, the Atlanta Braves managed only three hits and no runs against Miami ace Jose Fernandez.Seeing him again Tuesday night, the Braves fared even worse. Fernandez had the Braves guessing early and often, allowing two hits in eight stellar innings and leading the Marlins to a 9-0 win, easily the worst margin of defeat for Atlanta so far in this young season. "We have to figure out how to beat Fernandez," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said after his team's four-game winning streak was snapped.
