Braves blow big lead

MIAMI— Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a single and a double, but the Miami slugger remained at 59 home runs as the Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 Friday night.

Marcell Ozuna drove in three runs to lead Miami, which rallied from a 5-0 deficit and took the lead during a four-run seventh, when Justin Bour’s tworun single put the Marlins ahead. The Marlins also got run-scoring singles from Ozuna and Stanton off Braves reliever Dan Winkler (0-1).

Adam Conley (8-8) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win. Junichi Tazawa inherited two runners in the eighth and induced pinch-hitter Tyler Flowers to hit into an inning-ending double play.

Brad Ziegler threw one pitch in the ninth and retired pinch-hitter Matt Kemp on a game-ending double play for his 10th save.

Ozuna’s one-out, tworun double in the sixth cut Atlanta’s lead to 5-2 with the tying run at the plate. Luiz Gohara ended Miami’s threat by striking out Bour and Brian Anderson.

Gohara allowed four runs, six hits and four walks. He struck out six.

Ozzie Albies’ homer to lead off the game and Lane Adams’ three-run shot against Miami starter Dan Straily gave the Braves a 4-0 lead in the first. Atlanta increased the lead on Kurt Suzuki’s run-scoring single in the second.

Straily allowed five runs, six hits and four walks. He struck out three in his shortest start of the season.
