Braves vs. Marlins Game Highlights (4/4/25) | MLB Highlights

And here come the Atlanta Braves led by Spencer Schwellenbach. And he's been up for the big moment. You're going to see that four-seam fastball, slider-cutter-curveball split, and two-seamer. It is a legitimate six-pitch mix. Climbing in Xavier Edwards, Spencer Schwellenbach. The right-hander is ready. Braves and the Marlins. Ground ball to first. Olsen has it on one bounce. Schwellenbach covers. One away. Here is Kyle Stowers. He's off to a five-for-19 start at the plate this season. Swing and a miss. There's the first strikeout for Schwellenbach. He stayed away to Stowers, and it didn't matter. Look at him getting underneath. It gets by Schwellenbach, but Allen playing up the middle makes the play. Marlins go in order. Bravo's coming up. Braves taking on the Marlins right-hander Max Meyer tonight, making his second start of the season. Sunday against the Pirates was excellent. Five and two-thirds innings, five hits, one run. For the first time this season, the Braves coming to the plate here at Truist Park. No score to the bottom of the first inning. Michael Harris climbing in there. Here, it's a rip to right center that's going to keep rolling. Well, Harris might get three out of this. Nope. He's going to pump the brakes. Stand-up double for Michael Harris. Think any time your starter at home gives you an inning like Spencer Schwellenbach just did, come back, put a few early. Well, here's Ozzie Albies with a chance to make it one-nothing Braves. That's in the air deep to right field. Stowers going back, and he's there to put it away. Harris will tag from second and go to third, but that was hit well, and there's one away. So here's Marcel Lozuna, who both the Padres and the Dodgers both worked around in their respective series. And he got him. There you go, right on cue. That's a huge second out here in the inning for Max Meyer, and the issues offensively here for the Braves are plaguing them in the first. They've been awful with runners in scoring position. Let's see what Matt Olsen can do here with two away. He struck him out on a changeup, and Max Meyer works around a lead-off double from Michael Harris, the second. The third inning, no score. There's Jonah Bryde. Two-two, a swing and a miss. That time a slider takes care of Jonah Bryde. Here's Dane Myers. Oh, two to Myers. Take a hike. Got him looking with a slider. Nine up and nine down for Spencer Schwellenbach with three strikeouts. No score to the bottom of the third. Michael Harris lines one through the right side. A base hit right in between Lopez and Mervis on the right side, and Michael Harris is two for two. Albies almost knocked one out of the yard back in the first. Keep going. Keep going. Great hustle on the base pads. On the bloop by Ozzie Albies. Good job. Here we go. Here we go. And here's Marcel Ozuna. He can drive on the game's first run with a base hit right here. Out to left center. That's good. He struck Marcel out on a couple of sliders his first time around with a runner at third and one out. He couldn't duplicate that. Now we're talking. And Ozuna now with one out is at third base, and Austin Riley will come up. The big slugging third baseman. Beautiful three. RBI's single to right. Got a slider to his liking and able to send it into right field for the RBI. And that's Austin's second run batted in this season. Make it three nothing Braves. Mervis just now tuning in. How does this sound? Three nothing Braves into the top of the fourth inning. It'll be the top of the order for the Marlins. Nine up and nine down for Spencer Schwellenbach. Struck him out. Nasty slider coming inside. So four strikeouts now on the night. The last three all on the slider here from Spencer Schwellenbach. There's Kyle Stowers. Down goes Stowers. Five K's for Schwellenbach. All times that he has struck him out, it's been on the fastball. Ninety-eight in his first F.A.T. and here's ninety-seven at the top. Two-two with two away. Got him. Struck out the side. Twelve up and twelve down. Well, the good news for the Braves and the bad news for the Marlins is that Schwellenbach is perfect through four. Riley fires across. One away. Here's Matt Mervis. Checked out. He went. Mervis is the seventh strikeout victim tonight. Well, instead of that fastball, it goes slider in the dirt. Yes, he did. Two out. Liam Hicks, the catcher, will be the batter. As Liam Hicks breaks up a no-hitter here in the fifth. First base runner for the fish. Ninety-seven-mile-an-hour fastball and just a little weak flair. Jonah Brydo for one tonight. He struck out back in the third. Got him. He went. You don't need any system to tell you that he went around. That's number eight for Schwellenbach. Braves up three to nothing. Bottom of the fifth inning. Bases loaded. All this coming with two out. Nobody on. Nick Allen, one for two. Big spot here to keep the game manageable with bases loaded, two out. One-two. And he got him with a slider. And Max Meyer leaves him loaded here in the bottom of the fifth inning. Bottom of the seventh. Marcel Ozuna, Matt Olsen, and Austin Riley. Three, four, five. Marcel Ozuna hits it high in the air out to left center field. It's still going. Track. Wall. No signal. I think he caught it to left field. Does the left fielder have it? The left fielder has it. Did it pop out of Meyer's glove and into Conine's? Yes, I think so. Oh, my goodness. Conine caught it, but Ozuna's rounding the bases. He thinks he hit a homer. Well, they're going to get together. Marvin Hudson is the crew chief there. Oh, it went off the wall. That's a homer. Yep. Nice try, though. After a few, the call on the field is overturned. It is a homerun. All right. It's a 4-0 lead. Now Matt Olsen stands in. Matt Olsen, right center field. We're not going to have to call New York about that one. How about Matt Olsen all over that heater we've been talking about tonight? No doubt. Graves five, Marlins nothing. Into the top of the eighth inning, it's the home opener. Schwellenbach's having a fish fry right now out there on the mound. He's going back to the dugout here. Three pitches. Ten strikeouts for Schwellenbach. In the air, left field, Eli White, who just came into the game. He's got it. Schwellenbach, eight innings, scoreless, two hits, a masterpiece. And the Braves leading 5-0, have him on the corners with one out now for Ozzie Albies. Liner. Ozzie Albies starts that one right up the middle. It's an RBI for Ozzie, and it's 6-0 Braves. Center field. That'll drop. One is in. Three RBI, nine for Matt Olsen, who has five on the season now. Riley rips it. Drops it in front of Conine. Come on, Marcel. While Clayton McCullough is waving the white flag, he's going to bring in a young position player here, Javier Sanoa. He puts it in play, out into center field, and he's going to get his first big league RBI. And Atlanta has hit double digits, and boy, does it feel good. Ten to nothing. Now Aaron Bummer will try to finish off the Marlins. So now it's up to Otto Lopez. Griner to second. Ozzie on to first. It has never felt better to say these two words. Braves win. They take out their frustration on the Marlins. Ten to nothing for Atlanta's first win of the season. Final score, Braves ten, Marlins nothing.
