ATLANTA — Facing one of the best teams in baseball, the Mariners got a workable start from rookie Bryce Miller. But minimal run production, a familiar theme this season, and three runs allowed from the bullpen, led to a 6-2 loss to the Braves.
It was the Mariners’ third consecutive loss.
Facing a loaded lineup, Miller looked a little shaky in the first inning and need some help from his defense. He gave up a leadoff double to Ronald Acuna on a 1-1 curveball. Matt Olson followed with a double into the right-field corner on a 1-1 fastball that stayed into the middle of the plate.
