The Miami Marlins were swept by the Atlanta Braves 5-2 on Wednesday night at SunTrust Park. The Fish extended their losing streak to five games and have prevailed in two of their last 16 games.
Miami(48-75) did something they have not done in their last seven games and that was to get on the scoreboard first. Brian Anderson knocked in Rafael Ortega with a base hit into center field in the opening frame.
The Marlins made it a two-run gap during the top of the fourth. Starlin Castro cracked a solo home run to right field on a 1-0 pitch.
Atlanta(68-51) was able to surpass them in the bottom of the fourth. Charlie Culberson crossed the plate on a ground out to first by Ender Inciarte. Two batters later, Dansby Swanson smacked a two-run homer to center on a 1-0 pitch for a 3-2 margin.
The Braves got more distance in the sixth inning with two more runs. Inciarte drove in Culberson with a single into center field. Swanson later lined a sacrifice fly to right-center field for Inciarte to go home.
