ATLANTA — Fresh off a weekend sweep, the Braves turn the page to another National League East visitor without leaving home.
ESPN’s club page and Aug. 4 gamecast list the Atlanta Braves at 67–45, first in the NL East, entering Tuesday’s series opener against the Miami Marlins (58–55) at Truist Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET. The same ESPN surfaces show Atlanta on a five-game winning streak and eight games up on Philadelphia in the division table snapshot carried alongside the club page.
How the Braves got here
Sunday’s 4–2 win over Washington completed a four-game Truist Park sweep, according to the Associated Press recap carried on ESPN. Mike Yastrzemski and Matt Olson homered in that finale, Raisel Iglesias closed for his 24th save in the AP account, and the Nationals fell to 55–58. Earlier in the set, Atlanta had already beaten Washington three straight, building the streak that now greets Miami.
ESPN’s Marlins–Braves preview board lists right-hander Grant Holmes as Atlanta’s probable starter at 6–4 with a 3.88 ERA across 102 innings, 87 strikeouts, and 45 walks. Miami’s starter was still listed as undecided on the same board at the time of the morning check. Team leader modules on the Braves page continued to feature Michael Harris II among average leaders and Olson among home-run and RBI leaders.
Marlins snapshot and roster notes
Miami arrives after taking three of four from the Mets, per the last-five results on ESPN’s game page (wins of 2–0, 6–2, and 5–2 sandwiching a 4–2 loss). The same injury tables show Atlanta still managing absences that include catcher Sean Murphy and shortstop Ha-Seong Kim among longer-term or near-term IL cases, plus bullpen names such as Reynaldo López, who went on the IL around the Nationals series. Those listings are medical status boards, not lineup cards — official lineups post closer to first pitch.
Series stakes for a Tuesday night crowd
- Atlanta is protecting a healthy division cushion rather than chasing a wild-card cut line.
- Holmes gives the Braves a homegrown arm with mid-rotation volume after a high-leverage bullpen weekend.
- Miami sits third in the East on the ESPN table and needs series wins against contenders to stay relevant into September.
- Weather remains a secondary planning item: NWS grids still favor afternoon and evening storm chances midweek, so gates and tarp crews will watch radar even on a night start.
Full live stats, pitch counts, and the final box will post on ESPN’s gamecast and MLB.com after the final out. Until then, the hard public numbers are the 67–45 / 58–55 records, the 7:15 p.m. start, Holmes’s season line, and the five-game Atlanta streak built on the Nationals sweep.
