Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins Match Player Stats On May 13, 2018

Miami had just one hit -- a double by Brian Anderson -- entering the ninth. But after singles by Starlin Castro and J.B. Shuck, Justin Bour hit his third pinch-hit homer of the season, cutting Atlanta's lead to 4-3.

Braves reliever Jesse Biddle allowed the two singles before making way for Arodys Vizcaino, who gave up the upper-deck homer by Bour. However, Vizcaino retired Miami's final three batters to pick up his seventh save of the season.

Newcomb (4-1) has pitched 20 consecutive scoreless innings, a streak that covers parts of four starts. He held the Marlins to one hit and four walks, striking out six.

Inciarte finished 2-for-4 with one run scored and two RBIs for the Braves, who won three out of four games in the series. Atlanta has also prevailed in 10 of its past 11 road contests.

Jose Urena (0-6) took the loss and has taken all six of those defeats at home. He allowed just four hits, two walks and three runs in six innings in a quality start that still goes down as another hard-luck loss.

Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas, who was hit by a pitch on his left wrist, left the game. There was no immediate update on his prognosis.

Atlanta opened the scoring with a gift run in the first. With two outs, Freddie Freeman singled and scored from first when Nick Markakis' high pop fell between shortstop Yadiel Rivera and left fielder Cameron Maybin. It was ruled a single, but the ball landed a couple of feet from Rivera, who was looking back at Maybin.

The Braves took a 3-0 lead in the sixth. Ronald Acuna doubled and trotted home when Inciarte pulled a hanging changeup down the right field line for his third homer of the season.

Atlanta added a run in the ninth off of reliever Elieser Hernandez. The Braves got four hits in the frame, including an RBI single by pinch hitter Preston Tucker.

Given Bour's homer in the bottom of the ninth, that RBI by Tucker proved pivotal.
