Field Level Media

Travis d'Arnaud and Vaughn Grissom each belted two-out, two-run home runs in the decisive fourth inning as the host Atlanta Braves defeated the Miami Marlins 8-1 on Friday night.

Michael Harris II added a two-run homer in the sixth inning, and d'Arnaud and Austin Riley added solo shots in the seventh.

Harris' dinger, which traveled 436 feet, was the longest of the night as Atlanta won its third straight game. Miami lost its fifth straight contest.

The Braves defeated Sandy Alcantara (12-7), who entered the weekend as a frontrunner for the National League's Cy Young Award.
