Marlins vs. Braves Game Highlights (4-14-26) - MLB Highlights

Miami got the win yesterday against Atlanta and now the Braves try to even the series. Trying to quiet those bats is the 32-year-old right-hander Ronaldo Lopez. Right man, right spot. It's been a good start to the season here. Three starts in for Ronaldo with that sparkling 1.15. That's grounded through the right side in the base head. Jacob Marci, who's tied for second in Major League Baseball in terms of stolen bases, is at first with nobody out. 3-1 from Lopez to Edwards. Marci on the go for real this time. That missed outside for ball four. So Marci slides feet first into second. Throw got away from the shortstop Dubon. He now fires it back into the infield and Marci takes off and heads to third. Fascinating. So that is ball four. Marci could have jogged to second base but because that throw went down to second and it got away from Dubon, Marci was allowed to push to third base. And here's Augustin Ramirez. He is going again and here's a throw down to second and they got him. Marlins run into it out at second base. Edwards is standing there. I don't know if he thinks he was called safe or he wants the Marlins to take a look at this, but they're not going to. Thought stealing goes two to four. There's a fly ball out to right center field that might be deep enough. Acuna has a great arm. Here comes the throw on a hop. It's not in time. A sacrifice fly for Augustin Ramirez and the Marlins are up to an early 1-0 advantage. Max Meyer is in charge with keeping this offense at bay. Well his last outing against the Reds, five innings, gave up the one run, the home run from Stewart. Three walks, four K's. He's got 15 strikeouts on the year. Bouncer to third. He's got it. Throws him out and there's one away. Baldwin chased a change up. That's a three pitch punch out. Max Meyer had that thing dancing and peeling off the outside edge. There are two men going. Nobody on. Here is Matt Olson who tonight is playing in his 800th consecutive game, which is the 11th longest streak all time. Hit hard. Good stop by Edwards. That was a bullet, but it's a 1-2-3 first. 3-1 fastball misses outside on Otto Lopez and for the second consecutive inning, the Marlins have the lead off man aboard. Runner takes off and that throw bouncing up to Dubon. So the Marlins continue to be very aggressive on the base paths and Lopez steals second on Lopez. 3-2. Strike three called. Casey's going to challenge. ABS is powered by. Team is not going and Connor Norby bangs that into center field for a base hit. The windmill is on. Here comes a throw. Pretty good. Not in time. Now down to second. It's not in time there. A run scoring single for Connor Norby who's got one of the hotter sticks on this Marlins ball club right now. Here's Javier Sanoja who's 0-6 on the road trip. That's a ground ball. That's into right field for a base hit and Blake Lally is going to put the stop sign up for Norby at third. Acuna was on it quick and right. You don't want to risk Norby being thrown out at the plate and now here comes Graham Pauly with runners on the corners with just one out. There goes Sanoja. The pitch is a ball. The throw down is not in time. Another stolen base by the Marlins. When you have a high leg kick and you're really slow to the plate it's impossible to throw someone out. Third stolen base. We're not yet through the second. Swing and a land. He pounds it to right field. Acuna is going back. Looking up and it's off the bricks. One run will score. The windmill is on for Sanoja. Here comes a throw. But an RBI double for Graham Pauly has made it 3-0. That might be the swing that gets Pauly going. 3-0 fastball right down the middle. I just love the fact that they turned it blue. Here's Marcy who's already 1-for-1 tonight. That's a line drive. That's into center field and that's down for a base hit. Here comes Pauly. Harris will not make a throw to the plate. A two out RBI single for Jacob Marcy who's 2-for-2 through two innings here tonight and the Marlins have a 4-0 lead. Two strikeouts. He got Baldwin in the first. Yastrzemski there and now here's Ozzie Albee. Ozzie trying to find a gap and he will. He's heading for second. The throw from Marcy is late. It's a double and the first base runner for Atlanta tonight. Here is Dominic Smith. Had a double and an RBI yesterday. And he's going to try to drive in a run here. Ozzie's being one of Smith again. Dom Smith got a good look at the grip. This one catches a little bit more of the plate. He took an awkward swing at the previous one but that is an adjustment from Dom Smith to drive in the first run tonight for the Braves. Dubon with a spicy line at his center to start things off in the bottom of the third. Acuna grounded out back in the first. It gets away from Ramirez and Dubon to second base. Acuna to the right side. He's not going to reach. He does move Dubon up 90 feet. A productive out. Now there's one away for Baldwin. Out to right center field. That will fall. Dubon will score. Drake Baldwin wants two and he's in there with a double. And he's in a double for Drake Baldwin. Why not here? We talked about that change-up and all of a sudden the Braves are making the adjustments they need to on the Max Meyer change-up and good hustle here. I think Marcy kind of caught by surprise. And now Olsen. That's fair. He rips it into the right. Baldwin scores. Olsen with a double. Back to back. Two baggers and it's four to three. Got a breaking ball here. A slider right in the middle of the plate. Meyer made a mistake. That made him pay. Owen Casey throw two. And Lopez starting to settle in. That's three strikeouts in the last four hitters and he's retired five in a row. Fastball that time by Norby. 94 from Lopez. Five strikeouts tonight. I think you're right here catching a second wind is Ronaldo Lopez locating well and now again getting ahead right. The difference between getting ahead and having the opportunity to get some chase. He did it to Casey with the breaking ball and now he does it here with an elevated fastball. Lopez settling in. First two innings five hits four runs but a lot different the last two. Swing and a miss. And Paulie is down on strike. So that is now six strikeouts for Lopez and C.J. Five of those in the last seven batters. And it's the curveball again third time now that he has registered a strikeout using that curveball. Two out. Fast runner at second and Ramirez the batter. Paulie or rather Marci takes off. It's not going to matter. A little bloop over to Olsen and Lopez does get through five. Kinley will come on for his eighth appearance. He's 2-0 with a 150 ERA. This is floated out into shallow center and there's a base hit with one out. Harvey's got a second base hit of the ballgame. Now they've got their first base runner since the fifth and their first hit since the second. Graham Paulie doubled home a run back in the second. Softly to short. Dubon has it. 6-3. Double play. That ends the top of the seventh and Dov Smith lines it to center and he just continues to hit in that Braves uniform. Two for three tonight with an RBI. 0-1 pitch. Softly tap out to short. Charging Lopez. Gloves. Fires. Close play. Got him. It moves along Smith into scoring position. But unfortunately Dubon at the plate strikes out. Here's Acuna. Fly ball to right. Casey makes the catch and the side is retired. Marlins hanging tough as we go to the eighth. Back-to-back singles on back-to-back pitches and this would be a humongous insurance opportunity for the fish. First and second with two out for Otto Lopez. That's a line drive. That's into right field and the base hit. Ramirez will score. Hicks is on his way to third. A huge insurance run for the Marlins who just strung together three hits with two outs against Robert Suarez. That's the first run that Suarez has given up this year. That's a big run late in the ball game for the Marlins. Here is Casey. And he is down on strikes. A golden sombrero. 0-4 with 4K. Fairbanks is into the ball game. 0-1 popped up just back of third. Going back now Pauly and coming along now Sinhoa and it falls in. Boy you love that. Just served it down the left field line in the no man's land and it dropped amongst the trio of Lopez, Sinhoa and Pauly. So two down it'll be up to Yastrzemski. Yastrzemski rips it to right. Baldwin turns for third and they are at the end of the eighth. And he hit him. That came inside and grazed Ozzie and here comes Dominick Smith. Base is loaded. Dom Smith to the plate. In the air. Deep left center field. Back to the gap it flies and that's down for a base hit. Here we go. One run in. Two runs in. A third running Smith just mangled one into the gap and the Braves take the lead in the eighth. 6-5 Atlanta. You know on the Grand Slam, Ben, he did not stride. It was all hands. He got a breaking ball here. No stride and he hit it right to the base of the wall in deep left center. Perfectly split the gap between Marzi and Sinhoa. And now Rice on Iglesias. 99 saves for Iglesias. Looking for number 100 would be the fifth Brave to hit that mark. Pauly steps in with two outs here at the top of the ninth. This should do it. It's in the air. Who wants it? It's Harris. Braves win. You see a save number one. 6-5. It's an outstanding ball game and a great comeback as the Braves are down 4-0 early and come from behind to stun the Marlins.
