ATLANTA (AP) — Jon Berti had three hits, including a two-run double, Pablo López allowed only two hits in five scoreless innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Thursday night to boost their playoff hopes.
Miami snapped a four-game losing streak. The Marlins (29-28) are competing for a wild-card spot as they try to reach the playoffs for the first time since winning the World Series in 2003.
The Braves ended their four-game winning streak and were denied a chance to clinch the NL's No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
Dansby Swanson's bases-loaded single off Brandon Kintzler in the eighth drove in two runs.
