The Miami Marlins were looking to stop a two game skid against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday evening, after dropping the first two games of the series in decisive fashion. The Marlins got off to a quick start, picking up three runs in the top of the first inning, getting started by a Carlos Lee RBI single.
The Braves quickly answered in the second inning, bringing the score to 3-1 on a Paul Janish double. Pitcher Wade LeBlanch for the Marlins helped his own cause, doubling in the fifth inning to plate another run and push the Miami lead to 4-1.
The Braves picked up another run on a Dan Uggla double late, but the bullpen of the Marlins was able to hold down the Braves bats on the way to a 4-2 win.
