WATCH: Sean Murphy stays hot and doubles in a run to start the game

Murphy makes the Fish pay for Yuli Gurriel's fielding error

Matthew Jacobs

To open Thursday's game three, Ronald Acuña Jr was standing on first base thanks to an atrocious error by Marlin’s first baseman Yuli Gurriel on a routine pop-up. Sean Murphy does what Sean Murphy does to fastballs lately and brings him home to open the game:

The stand-up double was just a fraction of a hair from being a dinger. The Braves took the lead as Ronald Acuña Jr fl around the bases and got Murphy his 25th RBI of the season as  they touch Marlin’s starter Luzardo for the first run of the game. 

Unfortunately, Dylan Dodd, the Braves starter allowed a infield single then allowed a blast to deep left from Jorge Soler to let the Marlins take the lead 2-1 going into the second inning at Loan Depot Park. 

Where to catch the Braves next!

The Braves will grab a plane back home this evening as they gear up for an early season inter-league game with the suddenly solid Baltimore Orioles and their incredible bullpen, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:20 ET. Braves Today will be the go-to site for everything a Braves fan would want to know, and the Braves Today Podcast will fill you in on anything else you could possibly want about the Braves. The game will be broadcast in Braves Country on Bally Sports South and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on WIFN 1340 AM/103.7FM or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
