The Atlanta Braves rallied from a four run deficit in the ninth to stun the Miami Marlins with an 8-7 win Sunday afternoon at Truist Park.
It didn’t take Charlie Morton long to settle in early as he had no trouble turning over the Marlins lineup for the first time. A Sandy Leon single off the glove of Austin Riley in the third was the only Marlins hitter to reach against Morton over the first three innings.
The Braves jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third. Morton helped himself with a one-out bloop single and then came around to score on Ronald Acuña Jr’s 23rd home run of the season.
