The Atlanta Braves went down to Miami for a weekend series in about as much trouble as they've been in all season.
Down multiple starters, down Acuña Jr. and Albies, and dealing with a three-game losing streak, the Braves pulled together after a loss Friday night to take the final two games and take a big series from the first-place Miami Marlins.
While Miami still holds on to first place in the NL East even though they have played eight games fewer than the Braves have , the series was unquestionably a statement win for the Braves.
