The Atlanta Braves came to life in the late innings of the series opener to take game one from the Miami Marlins 4-3. Jake Odorizzi turned in a shaky start, tossing four innings and surrendering two runs on eight hits.
The Atlanta offense made up for where starting pitching was lacking. Matt Olson came to the plate in the fourth and launched a solo shot to cut Miami’s lead in half.
A Dansby Swanson sac-fly tied the game in the sixth and the Braves were back in it. After a scoreless seventh, Vaughn Grissom led off the eighth with a ringing double before Michael Harris stepped up to the plate and hit an absolute moonshot to give the Braves their first lead of the night.
