ATLANTA — The last time Jose Urena pitched, the Miami Marlins failed to score.
This time he was staked to an early lead. Run support was no problem.
"It's the best thing you can have a starting pitcher when your team takes care of you like that," he said. "You've just got to go out there and do your thing."
Urena pitched six strong innings, Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer and Miami avoided a three-game sweep with a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
Urena (10-5) won for the third time in four starts, allowing one run and three hits, walking one and striking out three.
