You’ve got to give credit to the Miami Marlins. In nearly all of their games against the Atlanta Braves, they’ve pushed the division leaders to the brink.
A 3 hour game was lengthened by a long weather delay punctuated by at least 1 “veryclose” lightning strike that got the attention of everyone at the game.
Once the game resumed in the top of the 8th – with a 0-0 score – the Braves pitching picked up where it had left off.
The Braves are 9-1 against Miami so far in 2019, but saying that alone does a great disservice to the Marlins’ effort in those 10 games… and that’s Takeaway #3 from Friday’s game.
