MIAMI (AP) – Venezuelan starter Pablo López set a major league record by striking out the first nine batters he faced at the start of a game and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 7-4 on Sunday. One day after the Braves lost star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury, Atlanta’s offense had no answer for Lopez’s dominance.

Lopez struck out Ehire Adrianza, Freddie Freeman and Ozzie Albies in the first inning; then he dispatched Austin Riley, Orlando Arcia, and Dansby Swanson in the second; each of his first six victims swung. In the third inning, Cuban Guillermo Heredia stared at the third strike, Kevan Smith swung and Ian Anderson struck out looking to end the third.
