RARE PHOTOS: Late home run missed chances sink marlins in series opening loss to braves - The Real Truth

Marlins Braves Jacob Stallings Michael Harris II Miguel Rojas Peyton Burdick Miami Anderson Jon Berti Miami Marlins

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins could only watch after the ball left Michael Harris II’s bat.

The rookie outfielder crushed Elieser Hernandez’s middle-middle fastball in the eighth inning for a go-ahead, two-run home run to break a tie game and lead the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 win over the Marlins on Friday at loanDepot park to begin a three-day, four-game series. Miami is now 50-62, including 19-25 in one-run games. Atlanta improves to 67-46.

Prior to Harris’ home run, the only runs the Braves scored came on a Matt Olson home run in the fourth and a Dansby Swanson sacrifice fly in the sixth — both against starter Pablo Lopez, who pitched 5 2/3 innings.
