After suffering a letdown to end their homestand against the Mets, the Atlanta Braves went on the road to take on another familiar foe in the form of the Miami Marlins. After the Mets took the series against the Braves (for a change), the Marlins had an opportunity to follow in New York’s footsteps by ending their season series on a high note against the Braves. Heading into these three games, the season series between these two was still pretty tight and the Marlins could’ve actually taken it had they pulled off a sweep.
Any hope of that happening evaporated once the middle of this series rolled around, as the Braves delivered a vintage beatdown over the final 10 innings of this series.
