Marlins vs Braves

The Miami Marlins secured a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves, damaging Atlanta's playoff hopes as they pursue a wild-card spot. Marlins pitcher Valente Bellozo earned the win, allowing three runs over 5 1/3 innings, while the Braves' Charlie Morton took the loss after struggling with control issues. Miami's offense took an early lead with a three-run rally in the first inning, and despite Atlanta's attempts to come back, they were unable to capitalize with runners in scoring position. The Braves had opportunities but went 0-for-3 in such situations, stranding eight runners throughout the game. This win marks Miami's fourth victory over Atlanta this season, bringing their season series to 7-4 in favor of the Braves with two games left in the matchup. The Braves remain two games behind the New York Mets for the final wild-card berth in the NL.
