This is a tough game to recap. The early and middle portions of it were defined by the Braves showing little urgency on the pitching and defensive side, as tactical missteps and defensive mistakes put them in a hole. In the later innings, playing from behind, the Braves had ample chances to take the lead and break the game open... but they didn’t. Down 5-1 headed into the final frame, they put together a rally capped off Austin Riley’s mammoth two-run homer to bring them within a run... but Adam Duvall and Eddie Rosario both struck out to send Atlanta to a 7-10 record and an 0-3-2 record in series headed into April’s final week.
Rally falls short as Braves tumble to Marlins, 5-4
