Miami Rebounds In Their Home Opener Against Atlanta, Ozuna Has A Big Night

Miami got back in the win column Tuesday in their home opener improving to 4-3 on the season 

Center Fielder Marcell Ozuna had a lot to do with the outcome of Miami's home opener as he hit two runs while he drove in six runs. "according to http://m.marlins.mlb.com/news/article/223743668/marlins-hit-bartolo-colon-hard-beat-braves/

Atlanta meanwhile drops to 1-6 on the season. 

Down six early, the Braves kept battling, creating some stressful innings for Miami relievers, even if they didn't always score. A potential turning point was in the seventh when trailing 8-4, Atlanta loaded the bases with one out off Kyle Barraclough. The Braves weren't able to break through as Freddie Freeman struck out, and on a 3-1 pitch, Nick Markakis lined out to left. The Braves also had the bases full with no outs in the fifth inning, they did score twice but didn't get any more in a 6-3 game at the time.

Miami returns to action Wednesday when Don Mattingley sends right-hander Tom Koehler to the mound. Tom  Koehler is 3-5 with a 3.71 earn run average against Atlanta. He will face Atlanta right -hander Jaime Garcia who gave up four earned runs over six innings Thursday in his season debut. "according to http://m.marlins.mlb.com/news/article/223743668/marlins-hit-bartolo-colon-hard-beat-braves/

Will Tom Koehler have a great night on the mound? Will the Miami offense be able to back up his start? Will Atlanta fall to 1-7? Will Jaime Garcia bounce back from his outing on Thursday where he gave up four earned runs in six innings? 

First pitch is set for 7:10pm.
