Braves Beat Marlins In 7-6 Nail-Biter

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins lost to the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Sunday.

The Braves’ win was so difficult to describe that Brian Snitker needed two hyphens for one word.

“Stick-to-itiveness,” the Braves manager said.

Yep, it’s in the dictionary, and next to it should be the box score from Atlanta’s wild 12-inning comeback victory Sunday.

Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning and Matt Joyce delivered a tiebreaking RBI single in the 12th to help rally past Miami.

The Braves overcame a 5-1 deficit in the ninth against closer Sergio Romo.
