Braves win, remain dominant at home against sliding Marlins

April 26 - Veteran right-hander Charlie Morton struck out a season-high nine batters and Ozzie Albies hit a pair of home runs to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 7-4 win over the visiting Miami Marlins on Tuesday.

Morton (3-2) threw a season-best seven innings and gave up just one run -- a solo home run by Jazz Chisholm Jr. -- on three hits and two walks. It is the second straight game in which Morton allowed only one run. He improved his career record against Miami to 12-5.

The Braves have won the first two games of the four-game series.
