Field Level Media, Gwinnett Daily Post
Sean Newcomb pitched six scoreless innings and Ender Inciarte slugged a two-run homer as the Atlanta Braves held on to beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Sunday afternoon at Marlins Park.
Miami had just one hit -- a double by Brian Anderson -- entering the ninth. But after singles by Starlin Castro and J.B. Shuck, Justin Bour hit his third pinch-hit homer of the season, cutting Atlanta's lead to 4-3.
Braves reliever Jesse Biddle allowed the two singles before making way for Arodys Vizcaino, who gave up the upper-deck homer by Bour. However, Vizcaino retired Miami's final three batters to pick up his seventh save of the season.
