Jurickson Profar stars as Braves demolish Marlins 12-1

In a dominating performance, the Atlanta Braves faced off against the Miami Marlins on August 27, 2025, at loanDepot Park in Miami, Florida. The Braves unleashed a powerful offense, scoring 12 runs while limiting the Marlins to just one in a three-game series finale. The game turned early when Jurickson Profar launched a 350-foot home run on the third pitch of the game, setting the tone for the rest of the match. The Braves maintained their lead throughout, ultimately outscoring the Marlins 21-1 over the final ten innings of the series. Ozzie Albies also showcased his talent, hitting a three-run homer and driving in five runs during the game. The Braves saw remarkable contributions from various players, including Matt Olson and Michael Harris II, who also homered. Manager Brian Snitker was ejected in the third inning after a confrontation stemming from a plunked Ronald Acuña Jr., but the team remained unphased by the loss of their skipper. The Braves’ starter, Joey Wentz, allowed only one run across 6 2/3 innings, while Marlins' pitcher Ryan Gusto struggled, yielding nine runs in under four innings of work. This victory marked a significant moment for the Braves, who demonstrated their offensive strength after facing a slump earlier in the season. Over the past few games in the series, the Braves had shown improvements in their batting lineup, with Profar being a key player. His ability to recently contribute with multiple hits and home runs highlighted why he is pivotal for the Braves moving forward. Despite the loss, the Marlins are in a tough period, having dropped their seventh straight series. This performance exemplifies the contrasting trajectories of the two teams, as Atlanta aims to push for a playoff position while Miami struggles to regain their footing. The Braves are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Phillies next, seeking to build on their impressive performance against the Marlins as they look to turn their season around.
