GAME PREVIEW
Anderson aims to put Braves in control vs. MarlinsThe Miami Marlins hope to continue their early luck against Atlanta Braves rookie right-hander Ian Anderson when the teams meet again Wednesday afternoon for Game 2 of the National League Division Series in Houston.The Braves rallied from a three-run deficit to claim Game 1 in the best-of-five set 9-5 on Tuesday, getting home runs from Ronald Acuna Jr., Travis d'Arnaud and Dansby Swanson and a combined five innings of one-run pitching from five relievers.Anderson (1-0, 0.00 ERA) appeared in a similar spot in the Braves' first-round sweep of the Cincinnati Reds, starting Game 2 after his team had gone up 1-0.The 22-year-old pitched brilliantly in his postseason debut, striking out nine in six shutout innings in a 5-0 win that sent second-seeded Atlanta into the NLDS.Anderson fared well against just about every opponent this season except the Marlins. Counting his playoff win over the Reds, he is 4-1 in five starts against everyone but Miami.However, he had no such good fortune against the Marlins, starting a pair of home losses -- 5-4 and 4-2 -- during which he allowed five runs (just one earned) and nine hits in 8 2/3 innings.In his other starts, he gave up just six runs and 14 hits in 29 2/3 innings (1.82 ERA).His chief nemesis in the Miami games was second baseman Jon Berti, who collected three singles and a double in five at-bats, driving in three runs.d'Arnaud, hero of the Game 1 win with a three-run, tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning, is counting upon the Marlins seeing the real Anderson this time around."We feel pretty confident heading into (Game 2), especially with Ian going," he said after Tuesday's win. "He's been tremendous for us all year. His demeanor is indescribable, and he'll be ready." The sixth-seeded Marlins will counter with righty Pablo Lopez (0-0, 0.00), who did not pitch in last week's first-round dismissal of the Chicago Cubs.The 24-year-old went 2-1 with a 6.39 ERA against the Braves in the regular season, including going head-to-head with Anderson and getting the better of the rookie in a 4-2 win on Sept. 24. Lopez threw five shutout innings in that one.Lopez, who has no postseason experience, served up two regular-season home runs to d'Arnaud, one in an 8-2 Marlins win on Aug. 14 and another as part of an 11-run, second-inning eruption by the Braves in a 29-9 shellacking on Sept. 9.Lopez is 2-4 with a 4.43 ERA in eight career starts against the Braves, having also given up two homers to Acuna in 14 career at-bats.In his three-year career, Lopez has seen Atlanta more than any other opponent, and the Marlins have now dueled the Braves more than any other team this season."We have a lot of history, so there are not a lot of secrets," Lopez said of facing the Braves. "It's just how we approach the situation, and if we see any adjustments, how we adjust to the adjustments. You do your homework, but it's how you react to the situation." --Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Anderson sharp, Markakis alert, Braves blank Miami, lead 2-0HOUSTON Rookie Ian Anderson pitched like a poised veteran, right fielder Nick Markakis made a nifty defensive play late and the Atlanta Braves threw another playoff shutout, beating the Miami Marlins 2-0 Wednesday for a 2-0 lead in the NL Division Series.The Braves have pitched three shutouts in four games this postseason. Travis d'Arnaud and Dansby Swanson each homered for the second straight day, putting Atlanta one win away from a sweep in the best-of-five matchup.The 22-year-old Anderson scattered three hits and struck out eight over 5 2/3 innings. The lanky right-hander who made his major league debut in late August added to his impressive outing last week in the wild-card series when he fanned nine in six scoreless frames against Cincinnati.The 36-year-old Markakis helped preserve the shutout and the lead in the eighth.Corey Dickerson reached on an error by Swanson at shortstop to start the inning, setting up Markakis' heads-up play. Jon Berti sliced a high fly down the line that Markakis alertly plucked on one hop and, with Dickerson holding up to see if the ball would be caught, threw to Swanson for a forceout at second base in a close play.Will Smith retired the next two batters and Mark Melancon, Atlanta's fifth pitcher of the game, closed the combined three-hitter for a save.Swanson and d'Arnaud provided the offense in this one, with both players hitting solo shots a day after the two hit multi-run homers in a huge seventh inning for the Braves in their Game 1 win.Game 3 is Thursday in Houston.Players from both teams behaved themselves a day after tempers flared in the opener when Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. was nailed by a 98 mph fastball. Acuna had a quiet afternoon, going 0 for 4 and striking out all four times.Swanson's homer off Pablo Lopez put the Braves up 1-0 with two outs in the second inning.There was one out in the fourth when d'Arnaud launched his soaring home run to left field, where it bounced off a metal sign high on the wall making a loud bang. Cameras panned to Anderson in the dugout, and the pitcher smiled broadly as he watched the ball sail away.D'Arnaud's homer made him the first catcher for the Braves to hit multiple home runs in one postseason since Brian McCann also had two in 2005. He's made quite a comeback this season after bouncing around between three teams in a tough 2019.Now he's helped put the Braves one win away from reaching the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2001 when Bobby Cox was manager and Chipper Jones the team's star.They've lost in the division series eight times since then, including in the last two seasons - a fact Freddie Freeman said put a chip on their shoulders entering this round.The Marlins, who made the playoffs for the first time since 2003, bounded their way into this round with high energy and plenty of smiles. They had little reason to grin on Wednesday when they couldn't scratch a single run across, going 0-4 with runners in scoring position.It's put them cusp of losing the first playoff series in franchise history after entering this round 7-0 all-time in the postseason.They had a chance to cut into the lead in the sixth inning when Berti singled with one out before Darren O'Day took over for Anderson with two outs and plunked Brian Anderson. The veteran reliever than walked Garrett Cooper to load the bases, but the Marlins came away empty when Matt Joyce grounded out to end the inning.Lopez didn't pitch badly, allowing just three hits in and striking out seven in five innings. But he was done in by the home runs in his postseason debut after not pitching since Sept. 24.UP NEXTAtlanta's Kyle Wright will make his postseason debut when he starts in Game 3 against rookie Sixto Sanchez. Wright hasn't pitched since Sept. 25 when he allowed two runs in a career-high 6 2/3 innings against the Red Sox. Sanchez started Game 2 of the wild-card round, striking out six in five scoreless innings.---More MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports
