MIAMI — Agustín Ramírez hit a three-run home run, Janson Junk pitched five effective innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 6-2 on Friday night.

Ramírez made it 4-1 in the third with a drive off Braves starter Didier Fuentes (0-1) that went 436 feet to left, giving the rookie catcher a team-leading 11 home runs on the season.

Junk (2-0) allowed five hits along with one run and struck out five in his first Marlins start.

Junk, who has made five relief appearances, did not issue a walk.
