Braves Lose Series to Marlins Amid Pitching Woes

The Atlanta Braves lost a series to the Miami Marlins, underscoring ongoing issues with inconsistent pitching and an offense unable to overcome large deficits. Bryce Elder was tagged for five runs on 10 hits, and manager Brian Snitker emphasized the need for more innings from a rotation depleted by injuries. Ronald Acuña Jr. continued his strong performance since returning from injury, while Grant Holmes delivered a nearly six-inning scoreless outing in a different game. However, the Braves' offense was held to just one hit by Marlins relievers in their most recent loss. The season series remains close, but Atlanta sits third and Miami fifth in the NL East, with both teams below .500. The Marlins have capitalized on Atlanta's pitching struggles to secure the series win.
