Locked On Marlins POSTCAST: Marlins Hit 4 Homers, Fall to Braves 5-4 in 2024 Home Finale

Jake Burger, Connor Norby, Jesus Sanchez and Jonah Bride each hit a solo home run for the Marlins, but it wouldn't be enough, as the Atlanta Braves beat Miami 5-4 on Sunday. 

Michael Harris II tripled, singled and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning on Jorge Soler’s infield single with the bases loaded against Declan Cronin (3-4) in the seventh to put the Braves ahead. 

Miami loaded the bases with no outs against Aaron Bummer in the bottom of the 7th. Otto López and Derek Hill singled, and Nick Fortes reached on a sacrifice. Bummer struck out Xavier Edwards, then Daysbel Hernández came in and struck out Norby, then retired Jesús Sánchez on a lineout to right. 

The Marlins tied it at 4-all on consecutive homers from Norby and Sánchez to start the sixth. Harris hit a game-tying RBI triple and scored on Olson’s single in the fifth that erased a 2-1 deficit. 

Urshela homered for the second consecutive day with his solo drive in the sixth to extend Atlanta’s lead. 

Jake Burger hit a solo homer off Braves starter Grant Holmes, putting the Marlins ahead 2-1 in the fourth. 

Miami tied it at 1-all when Jonah Bride homered in the second. 

Gio Urshela and Ozzie Albies homered for the Braves. Matt Olson added two hits and an RBI for the Braves (85-71), who are just 1.5 games behind the New York Mets for the third NL wild card. (prior to Sunday night's Mets vs Phillies game) 

Braves closer Raisel Iglesias pitched the final two innings for his 32nd save. Pierce Johnson (6-5) got the win. Holmes gave up two runs and three hits in four-plus innings. He walked one and struck out five. 

Albies gave Atlanta a quick lead with his solo homer in the first.
