With 6,314 in attendance at the Braves spring home, Atlanta starting pitcher Sean Newcomb got Miami Marlins leadoff hitter, CF Lewis Brinson, to ground out in the game’s first at bat, at 1:05 P.M. EST. Following that, the two engaged in a back-and-forth affair that wasn’t decided until Pablo Lopez got Charlie Culbertson to pop out to Marlins 2B Justin Twine two hours and 48 minutes later.
The Braves had already brought a run home in the ninth inning, but had allowed the Marlins a pair in the top of the inning.
