The Atlanta Braves finished a seven-game homestand with a 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Thursday night in the finale of a three-game National League East series at Truist Park. That marked Atlanta’s eighth consecutive victory.
Ronald Acuna Jr. clubbed a two-run homer (with a little assistance from the Marlins’ outfield) to get the Braves on the board during the bottom of the third inning. Matt Olson hit a home run to begin the bottom of the sixth.
Acuna homered again in the eighth. Mauricio Dubon went 4-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs. Michael Harris II also contributed two RBIs.
Victor Mederos picked up the win in relief for Atlanta in this game that was interrupted by a rain delay. Janson Junk took the loss for Miami.
The NL East-leading Braves improved to 70-45 on the 2026 regular season. They will be in New York for a three-game set against the Yankees over the weekend. The first pitch of tonight’s series opener is scheduled for 7:05 pm. Listen to play-by-play coverage from the Atlanta Braves Radio Network on WLAQ 1410 AM/96.9 FM; airtime is 5:50 pm.
