WATCH: Braves string together a big fourth-inning rally

RBI hits from Vaughn Grissom, Sam Hilliard, and Kevin Pillar put Atlanta back in front of Miami

The Braves jumped ahead early tonight, but a Jazz Chisholm home run in the top of the third tied things back up. In the bottom of the fourth inning, though, the bottom of the Braves' order came through over and over.

Catcher Sean Murphy led off the frame with a bloop single on an 0-2 pitch. Eddie Rosario followed with a four-pitch walk as young Marlins hurler Bryan Hoeing began showing signs of fatigue. After a slow roller off Ozzie Albies' bat advanced the runners, Vaughn Grissom went the other way to put the Braves in front. Rosario stopped at third, and center-fielder Sam Hilliard came to the plate.

Like Murphy, Hillard was behind in the count, but Hoeing left a fastball out over the plate and Hilliard also took it the other way for a run-scoring hit. Next man up was left-fielder Kevin Pillar, the nine-hole hitter.

Again ahead in the count, 0-2 this time, Hoeing went with the breaking ball, but it stayed flat and Pillar golfed it into the left-center gap to score Grissom and make it 4-1 Braves. A combination of Hoeing, lefty reliever Steven Okert, and home plate umpire Brian O'Nora's continent-sized strike zone helped the Fish escape the inning without further damage, but Atlanta moves into the middle innings with a 4-1 lead behind Charlie Morton.
