Quality starting pitching played a role in the Marlins’ recent winning stretch.
Jose Ureña couldn’t keep it going on Monday night.
The Braves’ batters chased Ureña after four innings and belted eight extra-base hits – including two home runs – to hand the Marlins a 12-1 defeat in front of a crowd of 8,259.
A day after a ninth-inning collapse kept them from securing what would have been a season-best win streak the Marlins (43-59) dropped their third in a row to the Braves (54-43) and have lost six of their first eight meetings with Atlanta this year.
