Atlanta had eleven hits in the victory. Justin Upton led the team with three hits, including his sixteenth home run of the year in the seventh inning. He also had two RBI's in the game. His brother B.J. also had a good game with two hits and an RBI. Brian McCann added a hit and two RBI's for Atlanta, Andrelton Simmons, Jason Heyward, Freddie Freeman, Chris Johnson and Julio Teheran all had a hit apiece in the game too.
Teheran didn't have his best start of the year but he did get the job done. He gave up runs in the early going, including a three-run homer to Rob Brantly of the Marlins, who hadn't hit a homer all year before the game. Teheran ended up going seven and a third innings and gave up four runs, only one earned, on seven hits. He also struck out three and earned the win, he is 7-4 on the year. Jordan Walden came in to finish out the eighth inning for Teheran and then Craig Kimbrel struck out two in a perfect ninth inning for his 24th save of the year.
The Braves are now 52-38 on the year and they will finish their three-game set with the Marlins tomorrow afternoon at 12:40 p.m. Paul Maholm (9-7) will try and help the Braves sweep the Marlins. Jacob Turner (2-1) will start for Miami in the game.
