MIAMI, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Braves needed fewer than 60 seconds to secure a lead they never lost, with a Jurickson Profar homer sparking a Wednesday rout of the Miami Marlins.
Profar swatted the third pitch of the day to right field for a 350-foot home run and the Braves never looked back in the 12-1 victory in Miami. He returned to the plate for a second round trip in the seventh inning.
"This team, even though the chances are slim for us to make the playoffs, everybody comes in here every day ready to win, with high energy," Profar said after the victory, which improved the Braves' record to 61-72.
"That's what I love from this team."
