Miami Marlins fall apart in fifth inning to drop series opener to Atlanta Braves

Trevor Rogers cruised through four innings on Friday before his night unraveled in the fifth. A one-out double to right field, a four-pitch walk, a first-pitch hit-by-pitch and a pinch-hit RBI single ended his night on a sour note after dominating through the first 13 outs of the game.

By the time that fifth inning ended, all three runners he left on base scored, and the Atlanta Braves built up a lead the Miami Marlins couldn’t overcome in their 6-2 loss at Truist Park.

The loss drops the Marlins to 59-82, ensuring they will have a losing season for the 11th time in the past 12 seasons.
