Marlins' Alex Vesia: Takes loss in MLB debut

Vesia (0-1) gave up two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning Saturday to take the loss against the Phillies.

Making his big-league debut, the southpaw got taken deep by Phil Gosselin to break open a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning. Vesia is one of three lefties in the Marlins' bullpen, and given that this was his first career appearance above Double-A, he may not see many high-leverage spots.
