Miami MarlinsvsAtlanta Braves
MIA 2/ATL 4
Things to say
The Braves beat the Marlins 4-2 at Truist Park.
01
opener
Braves took care of business at home, 4-2 over Miami. Never really felt in doubt after they grabbed the lead. Atlanta's been rolling lately.
02
key player
The Braves' starter was the story — got into his stuff early and kept the Marlins' heart of the order off balance all night.
03
hot take
Honestly Miami hangs closer than the record says. That's not a 58-56 team when they play like that.
04
deep cut
Two runs is nothing, but the Marlins left the yard early and still couldn't string anything together — that's a bullpen and situational-hitting problem, not a power problem.
05
exit
Anyway, Braves at 68-45 now — I want to see if they can keep it going in the next series.
The recap
Braves handled business at home, taking down Miami 4-2 to keep rolling at 68-45. Atlanta's arms did the heavy lifting, keeping the Marlins to just two runs and never really letting them get comfortable.
Miami hung around but couldn't string enough together against Atlanta's staff to make it interesting late. Solid, businesslike win for a team that's clearly playing October baseball already.
