Our Braves lineup continued to battle, with Jurickson Profar getting on base and swiping second in the 6th, but we couldn't capitalize on the opportunity.

Despite Nick Allen being replaced by Vidal Brujánhb] in the 8th, and making some changes, the Marlins extended their lead when Maximo Acosta hit a homer to center field. But don't sleep on Drake Baldwin! In the top of the 9th, when he smashed a homer, it sliced the Marlins' lead to 2-1. Unfortunately, that spark wasn't enough as we were unable to push any more runs across.Moving Forward
