The Braves began a four-game series with a heavy defeat and an injury to Drake Baldwin, but the rest of the series largely favored Atlanta. Ronald Acuña Jr. returned from the injured list without suffering a thumb ailment during the series. After Baldwin hurt his oblique and later went on the IL, Aaron Bummer was released following the series. In one game, Atlanta scored two runs in the first inning, but Miami responded with a leadoff homer by Xavier Edwards and a two-RBI double by Kyle Stowers. A fourth-inning sacrifice fly extended Miami’s lead to 4-2, and Atlanta needed to respond to avoid falling behind 2-0. From the fifth inning onward, Atlanta took control, with Martín Pérez striking out 10 batters and Matt Olson driving in a run with an RBI double.
"The Braves got demolished, Ronald Acuña Jr. was activated from the IL before the game, Drake Baldwin hurt his oblique during the game before going on the IL and Aaron Bummer was released after the game. That's all you need to know from this one, so let's move on!"
"Now this was more like it! The Braves quelled any fears of a potential slump by scoring a pair of runs in the first inning of this one but the lead didn't last for long. Miami snatched the lead back in their half of the first inning after a leadoff homer from Xavier Edwards and a two-RBI double from Kyle Stowers put the Fish in front. A fourth-inning sacrifice fly made it 4-2 Marlins and it was clear that the Braves were going to have to get it in gear or risk falling into a 2-0 hole against Miami."
"The good news is that from the fifth inning onwards, it was all Braves. Martín Pérez wrapped up his night in the fifth inning with a career-high 10 strikeouts to his name and he left the game with the Braves only behind by one run after Matt Olson delivered an RBI double in the top of the fifth."
