The Marlins turned a quiet game into an offensive showcase, overwhelming Atlanta 12-0 at loanDepot park. What began as a pitcher's duel became a rout when Miami scored 11 runs across the fourth and fifth innings.
Max Meyer controlled the game from the mound, allowing three hits over six innings with six strikeouts and two walks. The right-hander improved to 4-0 with a 2.85 ERA, shutting down Atlanta's lineup completely.
The breakthrough came in the fourth inning when Joe Mack singled to right, bringing home Marsee and Stowers to extend Miami's lead to 3-0. Edwards followed with an infield single that scored Norby, then Liam Hicks doubled to center, scoring Edwards and Mack for a 6-0 advantage. The fifth inning sealed the outcome when Sanoja homered to left, a 375-foot grand slam that scored Marsee, Norby and Mack. Edwards capped the surge with a solo homer to left center.
Jay Ritchie absorbed the loss for Atlanta, allowing six runs over four innings on six hits with four strikeouts. The Braves managed just four hits against Miami's pitching staff and never mounted a serious threat.
Miami snapped a one-game losing streak to improve to 21-26. Atlanta fell to 32-15 despite entering the series with momentum.
