One of these days, a series between the Atlanta Braves and the Marlins won't involve some sort of dumb hit by pitch drama. Going back to Jose Ureña throwing at Ronald Acuña Jr. and former Miami manager Don Mattingly going "old school" at every available opportunity, there always seems to be some nonsense when the Braves take Miami on. Unfortunately, that remained true on Wednesday, although the exact details were a bit different.
In the third inning, Marlins starter Ryan Gusto served a pitch on a platter to Matt Olson who promptly crushed a two-run homer to deep center.
