Marlins Win at Atlanta, 4-3
Atlanta left fielder Joe McGrath had a good game, even if his team did not. The Firebirds dropped a 4-3 decision to Miami at SunTrust Park. McGrath went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Dominic Leone, now 8-1, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. Miami has now won 3 in a row.

Dan Downing had a direct impact on the outcome. Downing contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put Miami up, 4-3.

"This was a good win," said Downing.
