<p>ATLANTA — Jesus Aguilar drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning double and the Miami Marlins overcame two homers by Ronald Acuña Jr. for their third straight win in Atlanta, beating the Braves 6-5 Wednesday night after squandering a 5-0 lead.</p>
<p>Leading off in extra innings with Starling Marte placed at second, Aguilar dumped a low pitch from Tyler Matzek (0-1) down the left-field line to bring home the tiebreaking run.</p>
<p>Acuña led off the bottom of the 10th with a chance to do more damage after erasing Miami’s big lead almost single-handedly. But Yimi Garcia struck out the Atlanta slugger on three pitches before retiring Freddie Freeman and Marcell Ozuna to earn his second save.</p>
<p>John Curtiss (1-0) picked up the win with a scoreless ninth. </p>
<p>Dropping to 0-3 in extra-inning games this season, the Braves wasted another dynamic performance by Acuña to lose their fourth in a row overall.</p>
<p>He launched <a href="https://twitter.com/i/status/1382489153212923906">a 434-foot shot</a> into the center-field seats in the third inning, doubled off the center-field wall and scored a run in the fifth, and lined <a href="https://twitter.com/i/status/1382510529437167616">an opposite-field shot to the seats in right</a> to tie the game in the seventh.</p>
<p>The Braves have one more game at home before hitting the road. Acuña would surely like to spend a bit more time at Truist Park, where he is 14 of 24 with four homers and eight RBIs over the first six games in Atlanta this season.</p>
<p>Jazz Chisholm Jr. staked the Marlins to their big lead with <a href="https://twitter.com/i/status/1382493014464065538">a three-run homer</a> in the third inning against Charlie Morton.</p>
<p>Miami starter Nick Neidert had a chance to pick up his first big league win while pitching before nearly 20 family members and friends in his hometown. </p>
<p>But the right-hander failed to get through the fifth inning, even after Morton popped into a double play on an attempted bunt with Ender Inciarte running on the pitch.</p>
<p>Acuña followed with another blistering shot, the ball bouncing against the center-field wall for his double. </p>
<p>Freeman followed with a run-scoring single off the right-field wall to make it 5-3, bringing manager Don Mattingly out of the dugout. Adam Cimber retired Marcell Ozuna to end the inning.</p>
<p>Neidert went 4 2/3 innings, giving up five hits, three runs and four walks.</p>
<p>Morton lasted six innings for the Braves. He surrendered seven hits and all five Miami runs, though he did record nine strikeouts.</p>
<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>The Braves placed LHP Max Fried (right hamstring) and OF Cristian Pache (left groin) on the 10-day injured list. Fried tweaked his hamstring while running the bases in a Tuesday night loss to the Marlins. LHP Tucker Davidson and OF Guillermo Heredia were called up from the alternate training site.</p>
<p>UP NEXT</p>
<p>The Marlins go for a four-game sweep in the finale of the four-game series on Thursday. LHP Trevor Rogers (1-1, 1.80 ERA) gets the nod for Miami after outdueling Jacob deGrom in a 3-0 win over the Mets last weekend. Braves RHP Ian Anderson (0-0, 4.35 ERA) will be looking for his first win of the season.</p>
