The ninth inning struck again for the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Trailing by one run in the top of the ninth, the Marlins turned to Curtis Granderson as a pinch-hitter with one out and the outfielder took Arodys Vizcaino deep to center field for Miami’s eighth ninth-inning run of the season to force extras.
But the ninth was good the Atlanta Braves, too. The Braves walked off with a single by Dansby Swanson against Adam Conley to beat the Marlins, 4-3, and win a series at SunTrust Park.
