Braves hold on for 5-3 win over Marlins

The Atlanta Braves homered three times in support of Charlie Morton in a 5-3 win over the Miami Marlins.

The Braves didn’t waste anytime getting to work against Marlins lefty Trevor Rogers. Ronald Acuña Jr. led off the game with a rocket double to the left field corner. He moved over to third on a ground out by Matt Olson and then came in to score on a single by Ozzie Albies.

After a strikeout by Austin Riley, Marcell Ozuna lifted a 2-2 pitch from Rogers into the left field bullpen for a two-run home run to extend Atlanta’s lead to 3-0.
