The Braves took a 4-2 lead with four runs in the seventh. After Christian Yelich walked, Marcell Ozuna teed off on a 1-0 pitch from Jose Ramirez and planted it in the Miami bullpen just beyond the fence in left.

Atlanta right-hander Mike Foltynewicz bounced back from his worst outing of the season - eight runs in 3 1/3 innings against Washington - to give up two innings over six innings. Rio Ruiz had a sacrifice fly, Johan Camargo drove in a run with a pinch-hit single and Nick Markakis added a two-run opposite-field single.

The Marlins broke through for two runs in the sixth inning against Folytnewicz. "When that inning started, I thought, 'Oh, snap, I think I'm going to do it again". Foltynewiciz allowed seven hits and two walks, with four strikeouts and received no decision.
