The first inning went about as well as it could have for Braxton Garrett. The Miami Marlins’ left-handed pitcher needed just 11 pitches to retire the top of the Atlanta Braves’ lineup in order.
The second inning? Not so much.
The Braves teed off against Garrett and put Miami in a hold it could never recover from in a 14-6 blowout loss Wednesday at loanDepot park. Atlanta improves to 21-10, while the Marlins fall to 16-15.
The total damage in that frame: Seven runs allowed on seven hits (including a pair of home runs) and two walks.
