Well, that was a wild one.
The Atlanta Braves zoomed out of the gate on Monday night, claiming a seemingly insurmountable seven-run lead. In wild fashion, that lead evaporated in full, but the home team was able to recover and, in the end, the final result was a 12-7 victory over the Miami Marlins in the series opener between the two teams.
The Braves began the scoring with a solitary run in the first inning, as Ender Inciarte tripled to leadoff the game and he was brought to the plate on an Adonis Garcia groundout. Following that, Atlanta added a second run in the next frame, as Nick Markakis blasted a solo home run to give Mike Foltynewicz a bit of additional breathing room.
