ATLANTA (AP) --- Dominic Smith hit a go-ahead, three-run double in the eighth
inning as part of a four-RBI night, and the Atlanta Braves rebounded from a
four-run deficit to beat the Miami Marlins 6-5 on Tuesday.
Atlanta trailed 4-0 in the second inning and 5-3 in the eighth when Drake
Baldwin singled off Pete Fairbanks (0-1) leading off, Mike Yastrzemski singled
with two outs and Ozzie Albies was hit by a pitch.
Smith pulled a cutter that landed on the warning track in left-center for his
third hit. Smith, who drove in Atlanta's first run with a second-inning single,
is batting .395 with 15 RBIs.
Baldwin had two hits and drove in a run, giving him 18 RBIs.
Robert Suarez (2-0) allowed Otto Lopez's run-scoring single in the eighth.
Raisel Iglesias struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 100th save with the
Braves, his third this season.
Agustn Ramrez hit a sacrifice fly in the first, and Connor Norby and Jakob
Marsee hit run-scoring singles in the second around Graham Pauley's RBI double
off Reynaldo Lpez, who allowed five hits and three walks in five innings.
Atlanta closed to 4-3 in the third on RBI doubles by Baldwin and Matt Olson
against Max Meyer, who allowed five hits in five innings.
Pauley's double went off the right-field wall, and Ronald Acua Jr. threw to
second where shortstop Mauricio Dubn relayed to catcher Drake Baldwin, who
tagged out Javier Sanoja.
