Atlanta 3 at Miami 2 - Recap

MIAMI -- Adonis Garcia's ninth-inning single drove in the go-ahead run as the Atlanta Braves continued to haunt the Miami Marlins with a 3-2 victory on Friday night at Marlins Park.

The last-place Braves (63-91) are 11-6 against the Marlins (76-78) this season.

Pinch-hitter Emilio Bonifacio started the ninth-inning rally with a one-out single. He stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher J.T. Realmuto. Bonifacio scored when Garcia stroked a 2-2 pitch to left for a single.

Atlanta's Freddie Freeman went 1-for-3 and extended his career-long hit streak to 27 games. It's the longest active hit streak in the majors and the longest by a Braves player since Dan Uggla went on a 33-game run in 2011.

Neither starting pitcher earned a decision. Atlanta's Matt Wisler allowed two runs in six innings. Miami's Andrew Cashner allowed one run in five frames.

Atlanta used three relievers, including Mauricio Cabrera, who pitched a scoreless ninth to get his sixth save of the season. Brandon Cunniff (2-0) earned the win, pitching a scoreless eighth.

Miami's A.J. Ramos took the loss (1-4).

Miami, with its first three batters reaching, scored twice in the first inning. Derek Dietrich walked on four pitches, Marcell Ozuna singled, and Martin Prado hit a two-run double to left-center. With that hit, Prado increased his batting average with runners in scoring position to an NL-best .377.

Atlanta, with its first three batters reaching in the second inning, cut its deficit to 2-1. Matt Kemp walked on four pitches, Nick Markakis singled, and Tyler Flowers hit an RBI single.

The Braves loaded the bases with one out in the third but failed to score. Matt Kemp struck out. Then, on a 3-1 count, Cashner threw what appeared to be ball four, which would have forced in a run. The umpire called it a strike, however, and Markakis flew out on the next pitch, slamming his bat on the ground in disgust.

In between innings, the Braves, still upset at the call, suffered two ejections -- Kemp and manager Brian Snitker. Kemp got tossed on his 32nd birthday.

The Braves tied the score in the sixth. Freddie Freeman hit a leadoff double and took third when right fielder Giancarlo Stanton dropped the ball. Flowers then doubled just over the glove of Stanton in deep right field.

Atlanta nearly added to its lead in the same inning on a single by Jace Peterson, but Marlins center fielder Christian Yelich threw a one-hop strike to catcher J.T. Realmuto, who tagged out Flowers on a close play at the plate.
