The Miami Marlins open a four-game series against the Atlanta Braves on Monday night, hoping to carry a little momentum from their Sunday win in extra innings over the Padres. Atlanta presents a tougher opponent than the last one, and the Marlins will still be without Giancarlo Stanton who is rehabbing his knee.
This is the first game on an 11-game road trip for the Marlins.
