After taking two of three from the Nationals and increasing their lead in the NL East, the Atlanta Braves will continue their homestand Friday when they begin a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. Atlanta improved to 74-65 with a thrilling win Thursday night thanks to a Joc Pederson walk-off single in the 10th inning. That victory pushed their lead in the NL East to 3.5 games over the Philadelphia Phillies and 5.0 games over the New York Mets.
The Marlins come in to the series having just took two of three from the Mets and have won four of their last five series overall.
