Bour’s blast not enough to rescue Marlins in 4-3 loss
The streak lives on—dating back to last season, the Marlins have lost 11 consecutive games started by José Ureña. He was solid again on Sunday (6.0 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K), but deprived of run support until it was too little too late. The Braves held on 4-3 and took three of the four games in this NL East matchup.
Shortstop Yadiel Rivera had a communication issue with Cameron Maybin in the first inning on a routine pop-up, allowing the ball to drop and plate the first run of the afternoon. Ureña settled in from there, but the Braves eventually padded their lead the third time through the lineup on this Ender Inciarte home run.
