It was the longest game of the 2022 Marlins season and the highest-scoring one. It had the most baserunners and the most stolen bases. It would’ve been excruciating to lose for a Miami team that has already choked away several close contests. But they found a way to defeat the Braves on Saturday night, 9-7.
The action got started with the bang-bang of first-pitch home runs by both teams. In a nearly unprecedented sequence, Jazz Chisholm Jr. went yard against Ian Anderson and Ozzie Albies returned the favor in the bottom of the first inning of off Elieser Hernandez.
