ATLANTA (AP) — Kevin Gausman allowed only two hits in seven innings, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Tyler Flowers homered and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 4-0 on Friday night.
The Braves escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and won their fourth in a row. Miami has lost four straight, and nine consecutive games in Atlanta.
Gausman combined with relievers Jesse Biddle and Arodys Vizcaíno on a three-hitter.
Vizcaino walked Peter O’Brien to open the ninth. Pinch-hitter Martin Prado doubled down the left field line and Neil Walker walked with two outs to load the bases.
