An NL East matchup kicks off Tuesday’s MLB slate with a 4:10 p.m. ET first pitch between the Atlanta Braves (32-16) and Miami Marlins (22-26) in Florida. It’s the second game of a four-game series, with the Marlins securing a dominant 12-0 shutout victory in Monday night’s opener behind six strong innings from Max Meyer and four-RBI performances from both Joe Mack and Javier Sanoja.
Left-hander Braxton Garrett is scheduled to make his second start of the season for Miami after allowing four hits, five walks, and five earned runs in just 1.1 innings in his season debut on May 14. Garrett had been sidelined since 2025 due to injury before returning last time out. The Braves will counter with veteran southpaw Martín Pérez, who owns a 2.25 ERA across five starts and nine appearances this season.
Atlanta enters Tuesday with a seven-game lead over Philadelphia atop the NL East and owns the most wins along with the second-best winning percentage in MLB. The Marlins, meanwhile, sit fourth in the division and are trying to stay competitive in the National League playoff race despite fielding one of the youngest rosters in baseball.
