Marlins 7, Braves 4

It took the Braves 88 games just to get back even from where they started. Today is the first day of the rest of your season.

The Braves bats held a moment of silence in respect for Ronald Acuna Jr.‘s season ending injury, striking out 9 consecutive times to start the game. The tribute gave Pablo Lopez the modern era MLB record for consecutive strikeouts to start a game. Lopez lasted 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits, 2 walks, and the 9 strikeouts.

The Marlins started the scoring off in the bottom of the 1st.
