Atlanta Braves Swept by Fish, Fall 9-5

The Atlanta Braves entered this weekend’s series against the Miami Marlins 6-0 at Marlins Park and left 6-3 in Miami in 2015 as the Bravos were swept by the Fish, losing by a final score of 9-5.

Shelby Miller‘s winless streak continued in his penultimate start of the season, going 5.1 innings while allowing 7 earned runs on 7 hits. This was arguably Miller’s worst start of the season, and clearly showed signs of fatigue throughout the game. Miller has now pitched 197.1 innings in 2015 after Sunday’s game — the most of his career. Shelby Miller is now winless in 24 consecutive starts.
