ATLANTA (AP) - The Florida Marlins rarely win a series in Atlanta, so manager Fredi Gonzalez wasn't about to let this one get away. Aaron Boone homered for the second day in a row, the Florida bullpen kept the Braves from rallying and the Marlins held on for a 7-4 victory Wednesday.
Florida built a 5-0 lead by the third inning, capped by Boone's two-run shot, and took no chances when starter Scott Olsen struggled with his control.
Olsen was yanked in the fifth after giving up a two-run single to Jeff Francoeur, having walked five in 4 1-3 innings. He left with a 5-2 lead, but didn't pitch long enough to qualify for the win.
