Kelenic's Return Ignites Braves' Offense Against Marlins

The Atlanta Braves’ offensive juggernaut rolled into Miami looking to take the series against the Marlins on Saturday. With Jarred Kelenic reinserted into the lineup batting ninth and playing left field, the Braves aimed to keep their hot bats rolling. Kelenic, who had been out with a minor injury, rejoined a Braves lineup that had been scoring at a torrid pace lately. In the previous game, Atlanta had hung eight runs on the Marlins’ pitching staff.
