Marlins News
The Miami Marlins were steamrolled by the Atlanta Braves again, suffering an 11-3 loss that caps off a disappointing sweep. Ronald Acuña Jr. took full advantage of the Marlins' chaotic outfield mishaps, hitting two home runs, including one that was practically handed to him by a miscommunication among Miami's outfielders. As they languish in a lukewarm 58-57 record, the Marlins need to figure out their defensive woes while hoping for some sparks from the minor leagues, where No. 14 prospect Jonathon Long is making noise in Triple-A. With the offense struggling to keep pace, their recent 3.7 runs per game aren't going to cut it against teams like the Braves, who now boast eight consecutive wins. The Marlins will need to regroup quickly if they want to stay relevant in the playoff chase.
