Both Braun and Fielder got blown away by fastballs, and then when the slider came they had no chance.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah that's been the difference. His fastball looks better than it has since 07 when it was so good. He was throwing 97 today in great spots, plus the nasty slider, that's literally just about un-hittable.

Absolutely.
When Marmol is on, its the fastball setting up the slider; not the other way around.
