Freeman not worried as Braves lose 2nd straight
Marlins Braves Baseba Heal
Atlanta Braves left fielder Jonny Gomes (7) makes a leaping catch to retire Miami Marlins' J.T. Realmuto in the ninth inning of a baseball game Wednesday.

ATLANTA  — Freddie Freeman isn't ready to panic just because the Atlanta Braves have lost two straight games.
    The Braves won their first two series this season and six of their first seven games.
    "It's early, just got to keep grinding and put good swings on the ball," he said. "Hopefully it'll fall (into place) in Toronto."
    Atlanta scratched out only three hits in a 6-2 loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday as the Braves struggled against right-hander Dan Haren and watched Adeiny Hechavarria go 3 for 3 with a homer and three RBIs.
    Haren (1-0) allowed just three base runners — two walks in the first and an error by second baseman Dee Gordon that let Freeman reach in the fourth — before Andrelton Simmons got the first hit off the right-hander with two outs in the fifth.
    Cameron Maybin led off the Atlanta sixth with his second homer of the season to make it 5-1. Kelly Johnson led off the Braves seventh with his first homer of the season to cut the lead to 5-2.
    Haren, who was replaced by Mike Dunn to begin the eighth, walked two and struck out five. He has won four straight decisions against the Braves.
    "He put a little on, took a little off, hit every location," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said of Haren. "Guys were coming back shaking their heads. He hit his spots, and it's hard to score some when you get three hits."
    The Marlins went up 2-0 in the third on Gordon's two-run double. They took a 4-0 lead on Hechavarria's first homer, a two-run shot in the fifth.
    Celebrating his 26th birthday, Hechavarria has gone 7 for his past 11, raising his average to .242 after beginning the season 1 for 22. He added a sacrifice fly to make it 6-2 in the ninth.
    Atlanta starter Eric Stults (0-1) gave up five hits, four runs and two walks with two strikeouts in five innings. His ERA through two starts is 6.30.
    Cody Martin, the first Braves reliever, allowed Michael Morse's first homer of the season in the sixth, which put the Marlins up 5-0.
    Gordon has reached safely in eight of nine games after going 2 for 4 and raised his average 14 points to .378. Marlins manager Mike Redmond likes how Gordon's approach affected the lineup as Miami scored a combined 14 runs the past two days.
    In their previous 10 games at Turner Field, the Marlins scored a combined 25 runs.
    "The key to this whole thing is guys relaxing," Redmond said. "You're starting to see guys now taking a deep breath and starting to focus on having a good at-bat, square the ball up."
    Miami closer Steve Cisek, pitching in a non-save situation, faced the minimum in the ninth.
    Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton batted without a protective mask on the left side of his batting helmet when facing left-handers. Stanton, who went 0 for 4, is still wearing the mask against right-handers.
