Marlins Shut Down by Braves Pitching, Miami's Bats Fall Silent in Atlanta

In a game that lasted just under two hours, the Marlins' offense struggled significantly. The team managed only three hits and failed to convert any scoring opportunities. Despite having six men left on base throughout the game, Miami could not capitalize on these chances. The Marlins' hitting statistics reflected their difficulties at the plate; they had an average of .103 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .103 as well.


Miami's pitching staff faced challenges as well but showed some resilience despite the loss. The bullpen held its own with an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 over 2.1 innings pitched and a strikeouts-to-walks ratio (K/BB) of 2.0. However, it was not enough to counteract the five runs given up by their starters over 5.2 innings which resulted in an ERA of 4.765 for this group.

Trevor Rogers took the loss for Miami after allowing three earned runs and two unearned due to errors during his time on the mound which lasted until just beyond halfway through the sixth inning.


On defense, Miami committed one error which contributed to one of Atlanta's scoring innings where they posted two runs in part due to this mistake.

The Braves capitalized on their opportunities with ten hits including three doubles and a home run contributing significantly to their five-run total for the evening.


Max Fried claimed victory for Atlanta with a solid performance that kept Marlins hitters off balance all night long.


Looking ahead, fans can catch the next matchup between these two teams scheduled for April 24th at Truist Park in Atlanta where they will be broadcasted live on BSSO network at around 7:20 PM Eastern Time.
