For tonight, at least, Bryce Elder did not keep getting away with this. The right-hander, who had yielded zero homers through his first four starts of the year, yielded three in one game. With reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara on the hill for the visitors, it seemed like it was going to be one of those games for the Braves. But, that’s not how things turned out. Instead, the Marlins seemingly forgot how to play baseball in the eighth, and the Braves took full advantage, grabbing their third victory in a row with a 6-4 decision.
Elder stops getting away with it, but wacky eighth gives Braves a thrilling comeback win over Marlins, 6-4
