Marlins 7, Braves 2
Jeff Bennett shut out the Marlins after allowing two first-inning homers. (AP)
The Braves hit Andrew Miller and the Marlins hard, but not when it counted. Atlanta went 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 13 men on base, spoiling a solid start by Jeff Bennett, who overcame a rough first to toss six innings of three-run ball.
