A busy day in the world of the Atlanta Braves culminated with the team getting rocked on the field last night by the Miami Marlins. Despite the Marlins having scored three runs total across the entire three-game series in Detroit, they eclipsed that mark in just five innings in Atlanta.
The offense did show signs of life as they plated another four runs but folks, it’s very difficult to win any type of ballgame when you give up ten runs. Eury Pérez also should probably feel fortunate that he got out
of there with just three runs allowed as the Braves did have their chances to open it up against him. Instead, Grant Holmes and the rest of Atlanta’s pitching staff took the brunt of the punishment in this contest and the Braves ended up being doomed to defeat in this one and their series-winning streak is now in jeopardy.
