    Dan Haren needed one inning to get used to home plate umpire Alan Porter's strike zone.

    Once he started hitting his spots, Haren built momentum to keep Atlanta's hitters guessing.

    Haren had two walks in the first. He approached the umpire after the third out to discuss pitch location.

    "I just asked him where he had them," Haren said. "He said they were close. I told him, `I'm going to stay right there and keep pounding it.' After a while he was calling them, (and I) got in a good groove."

    Haren gave up three hits in seven innings, Adeiny Hechavarria went 3 for 3 with a homer and three RBIs and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 6-2 on Wednesday.
