Rookie Jose Fernandez was in no mood to celebrate when his marvelous season ended with a win Wednesday. Instead, he sought out the Braves so he could apologize for his behavior.
Fernandez pitched seven innings and hit his first major-league homer to help the Marlins to a 5-2 victory. But he drew a rebuke from his manager for showboating, and engaged in a standoff with the Braves that cleared both benches and bullpens.
"I feel embarrassed," Fernandez said. "I feel like I don't deserve to be here, because this isn't high school. This is a professional game. I made a mistake. I'm going to learn from it."
