Ozzie Albies homers again to power Braves over Marlins
Briefly

Ozzie Albies homered and drove in five runs as the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 12-1. Jurickson Profar hit two solo homers, Matt Olson and Michael Harris II added homers, and Atlanta outscored Miami 21-1 over the final 10 innings of the series. Joey Wentz allowed one run and five hits in 6 2/3 innings for the Braves. Ronald Acuña Jr. walked four times and was hit by a pitch, which led to manager Brian Snitker's ejection after both benches briefly emptied. Albies went 5 for 8 with nine RBIs in the last two games, and the Marlins lost their seventh straight series.
Jurickson Profar hit two solo homers for the Braves, who outscored the Marlins 21-1 over the last 10 innings of their three-game series. Matt Olson and Michael Harris II also went deep. Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr. walked four times and was hit by a pitch, leading to the ejection of manager Brian Snitker. Braves starter Joey Wentz (3-3) permitted one run and five hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Snitker was tossed after Gusto (7-7) plunked Acuña with the first pitch following Olson's homer. An angry Acuña took a couple of steps toward the mound before heading to first. Both benches emptied although no punches were thrown. Snitker protested crew chief Mark Wagner's warnings of additional retaliations, leading to his ejection. Harris made it 11-1 with a two-run blast in the sixth, and Profar homered again in the seventh.
