The Miami Marlins defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 Sunday afternoon, ending a five-game losing streak. This has become a trend the past few weeks with the Marlins winning their fifth consecutive Sunday contest of the season -- Miami has a 6-19 record in weekday games during this stretch.
Mother’s Day 2017 was a pitching duel between Marlins young-gun Justin Nicolino and Braves veteran R.A. Dickey. Nicolino eventually won the battle with Dickey after giving up just one earned run -- a RBI single by Nick Markakis that scored Ender Inciarte -- on six hits in 6.
