Miami's Eury Perez will put his 21-inning scoreless streak on the line when the visiting Marlins try to end the Atlanta Braves' six-game winning streak on Saturday.
Atlanta extended its winning streak Friday with a 16-4 victory over the Marlins in the first game of their three-game weekend series. The Braves have won 14 of their past 15 games and completed a 21-4 June. The Braves ended Miami's five-game winning streak and lead the Marlins by seven games in the National League East.
"I'm focused on having fun with my teammates, going out there and competing," Perez said. "Put on a great game. Put on a great show. I have not checked out any numbers, but just go out there and do my job." Morton has won his past two starts and beat Cincinnati on Sunday, when he pitched five innings and allowed three runs on seven hits, three walks and seven strikeouts in a 7-6 win.
The Atlanta offense completed a historic June. The Braves hit a franchise-record 61 homers in the month and finished it with a six-homer night in the series opener vs. Miami. Matt Olson hit a pair of homers, and Eddie Rosario, Austin Riley, Sean Murphy and Ronald Acuna Jr. went deep for the Braves, the eighth time they've hit five home runs in a game.
