MIAMI — Justin Bour hit a two-run home run, Justin Nicolino pitched seven solid innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 6-2 Saturday night. Nicolino (4-4) allowed just two hits and a run in helping Miami beat the Braves for a sixth straight time, its longest winning streak against Atlanta since winning five in a row in 1997. Dee Gordon went 1 for 4 for the Marlins to maintain a batting average of .332, which trails NL leader Bryce Harper’s .339 clip after the Nationals star went 3 for 5 earlier in the day.
