The Braves find themselves in an odd position in this game in the fact they are outmatched in the starting pitching department. Smith has been able to play decent for the Marlins on the year, but has had some issues with run support. In this game, though, the pitching of Smith shuts down the Braves offense and that makes it easier to see the Marlins bring home a surprising win. Final Score, Miami Marlins win 4-2.
