Michael Harris II led off the bottom of the 10th inning with a game-winning RBI double to give the Atlanta Braves a 4-3 victory over the visiting Miami Marlins and a sweep of the three-game series.

Harris smacked an 0-1 fastball from Tanner Scott (0-4) past center fielder Jazz Chisholm to plate automatic runner Ronald Acuna Jr. A.J. Minter (4-1) earned the win after pitching a scoreless top of the inning.

The Braves improved to 5-1 against Miami this season and are 3-0 in extra innings.

The Marlins tied the score with two runs in the ninth against Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias. After the first three batters reached on singles to load the bases, Josh Bell smashed a hard grounder that went off the chest of Matt Olson and caromed into the camera well. The error allowed two runs to score and handed Iglesias his first blown save of the season.

Atlanta had a chance to win it in the ninth. The Braves had runners on first and second with one out when Acuna grounded into a double play, the fourth turned by the Marlins.

The Braves scored twice in the first inning. Acuna scored on a balk after Sixto Sanchez faked a throw to second base, which was unoccupied. Marcell Ozuna added an RBI single.

The Marlins ended a 21-inning scoreless streak in the second inning when Jesus Sanchez hit a 431-foot solo homer to right field, his second of the year. It was Miami’s first run of the series.

The Braves got the run back in the third when Olson ended a career-long 0-for-25 streak with a double. He scored on Ozuna’s single to right field.

The Miami comeback ruined another outstanding start from Reynaldo Lopez, who notched his fourth straight quality start to start the season. Lopez pitched seven innings and allowed one run on three hits and two walks, striking out six.

Sixto Sanchez, making his first start of the season for the Marlins, lasted only 2 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs on five hits, one walk and one hit batter. He struck out three.
