The Atlanta Braves rallied in the tenth to walk off the Miami Marlins, 4-3, on Wednesday night in Truist Park, securing the sweep. The Braves looked to be cruis
ing to a 3-1 win in regulation before three straight singles off of closer Raisel Iglesias and a two-run fielding error by Matt Olson tied the game and sent it to extras. Michael Harris II took the second pitch of the bottom of the 10th to left-center, scoring Ronald Acuña Jr from second for his second career walk-off hit. López, who was signed this offseason with the intent to convert him from relief to starting, has been one of Atlanta’s best starters this season.
Starting pitching in this series is worth a note - yes it’s been against the Marlins, who are not a good baseball team, but the stats don’t lie: one earned run in 22.2 innings, with one complete game and two other stints into the seventh. “The Big Bear” has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the first month of the season, entering tonight’s game as the league leader in both home runs and RBIs . While Ozuna didn’t put one in the seats tonight, his first two at-bats saw him hit RBI singles to first put Atlanta on the board and then extend the lead . He finished with three hits, got a base hit with a 3rd-inning double to right field .
Safe to say, we can put some of those questions to rest. Orlando Arcia has been stellar on defense this season,so far in 2024 while also batting over .300. The Braves turned two double plays tonight, with both Arcia and Luis Guillorme flashing the leather and Arcia using the cannon of a right arm to nail some baserunners, including the potential winning run from Miami in the 9th.
Not to be outdone, Austin Riley made a great defensive play to cut down the would-be go-ahead Miami run in the 10th inning at the plate. Just a stellar series for Atlanta’s infielders, with the only blemish being the unfortunate two-run fielding error in the 9th inning of tonight’s game by Matt Olson. Atlanta’s got an off-day on Thursday before continuing the homestand against the Cleveland Guardians.
