Heyward hits homer, Braves top Marlins 8-2
Placeholder Image
ATLANTA — Jason Heyward homered and scored three runs and the Atlanta Braves snapped a string of 16 straight losses on Mondays, including 12 this season, by beating the Miami Marlins 8-2 on Monday night. Starting pitcher Tommy Hanson was the only Atlanta player or coach who did not wear high socks in an apparent old-school fashion attempt to end the Monday curse. Hanson (12-5) still had his pants low to his shoes as he gave up one run on six hits in five innings.
