    Kris Medlen felt relaxed before making his first start in nearly two years.

    For a guy who's started just 19 of 109 career appearances, he didn't feel any jitters.

    "I was much more calm," he said. "If you'd asked me that in the first start I had, it would've been completely different. But I just felt like I was in control."

    Medlen had a successful return to the rotation, Brian McCann homered and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 7-1 on Tuesday night for their seventh straight win.
