Markakis 3 RBI Game Propels Braves to Series Victory Over Marlins

Ever since Nick Markakis has joined the Atlanta Braves this season he ha made a huge impact on the team.

He hit a walk-off home run, got his 500th career double and was the entire offense in today's 4-0 victory over Miami.

Atlanta would add a run by Marcell Ozuna walking on a bases loaded situation.

Markakis would bring in runs in consecutive innings to give the braves the cushion that they would need.

The pitchers Atlanta used was absolutely dazzling, allowing only two hits and striking out 11 batters.

Although Miami would outscore the Braves nine to eight in series, Atlanta would win two of three and get into a first place tie with these Marlins.

Braves return home to Truist Park tomorrow hosting the defending champion Washington Nationals.

First pitch is at 7:10 P.M

Game is at Eastern Time
