Marlins struggle to get a key hit, end the home schedule with a 5-4 loss to the Braves

Bases loaded, no outs, and the top of the order coming up.

Trailing the Braves by a run in the seventh inning Sunday, the Marlins were poised to take the lead, or at least pull even.

They did neither.

Xavier Edwards struck out swinging against reliever Aaron Bummer, Connor Norby did the same against Daysbel Hernández, and Jesús Sánchez lined out to right field off Hernández.

The Marlins lost their final home game of the season, 5-4, to their wild card-contending NL East rival. They left seven runners on base in the game and were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
