Dansby Swanson provides walk-off hit as Braves avoid sweep

ATLANTA — The Braves were in danger of being swept by the Marlins in a four-game series for the first time in franchise history. Then they rediscovered the late-inning magic that’s saved them so many times before.

After blowing a ninth-inning lead, the Braves rallied against Dylan Floro in the bottom of the inning, with Dansby Swanson’s walk-off single pushing them past the Marlins 7-6 on Thursday afternoon at Truist Park. It stopped the Braves’ losing streak at four, which equaled their longest skid of the past three seasons.

The win ceased one of the more frustrating stretches the Braves have endured in recent years.
