Jesus Sanchez’s timely hits push the Miami Marlins past the Atlanta Braves

Jesus Sanchez finished 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI doubles, including a go-ahead hit in the seventh inning, as the visiting Miami Marlins defeated the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

Jake Burger homered and also drove in two runs as the Marlins snapped a two-game skid.

Matt Olson went 2-for-4 with one RBI for Atlanta and Marcell Ozuna hit a solo home run, but the Braves had their four-game winning streak snapped.

With the score tied 3-3, losing pitcher Pierce Johnson (4-3) entered in the seventh and ran into immediate trouble, giving up a single to Nick Fortes and a walk to Xavier Edwards.
