BBBBBBBBullpen cracks in eighth, Braves walk their way to 10-5 win over Marlins

After the Marlins rallied back from two separate deficits, Drew Steckenrider and Junichi Tazawa each walked in a run—and issued four total walks in the eighth inning—to put the Braves ahead for good in Miami’s 10-5 loss on Saturday night. Shaky outfield defense and questionable bullpen usage let a close game get away.

Freddie Freeman continued to torment Marlins pitching with a monstrous solo home run against Jarlin García in the opening inning. Freeman went deep again in the fifth and scored as the go-ahead run during the Steckenrider/Tazawa walk-a-thon.
