The 2021 Atlanta Braves have become known for prodigious offensive firepower, but sometimes, a team that hopes to make the postseason has to find another way to win.
On Friday, the Braves (75-65) did just that in a 6-2 win over the Miami Marlins (59-82).
Atlanta hitters did notch eight hits in the games, including doubles by Travis d’Arnaud and Freddie Freeman. But the home team didn’t notch a home run a day after Thursday’s power surge against the Nationals, instead relying on a pair of costly fifth-inning errors to ice a victory over Miami.
