ATLANTA _ These Braves, despite their losing record, seem to embrace the pressure moments like none other.
Lane Adams, who entered the game as injured Matt Adams' replacement, hit a walk-off homer in the 11th inning and the Braves won 10-8 over the Marlins at SunTrust Park on Sunday.
Down three runs in the ninth, Freddie Freeman singled and Nick Markakis doubled with one down. Freeman scored on a Tyler Flowers' ground out to cut the deficit to 8-6. Lane Adams, who replaced Matt Adams in left field, walked. The Braves loaded the bases with two down and Rio Ruiz shot one past third to tie the game at 8.
The Braves have scored 245 runs in the seventh inning or later, best in the National League. The team has walked off nine times, with four of those coming against Miami.
Neither team's pitching could keep the other down. Marlins infielder Dee Gordon, with one homer on the season, hammered a pinch-hit shot off Braves reliever Jose Ramirez to break up a 5-5 tie in the eighth. It was Gordon's first career pinch-hit home run.
The Braves did most of their offensive work with a fifth inning that started and ended with Ruiz. He drew a leadoff walk, and back-to-back singles from Ender Inciarte and Ozzie Albies brought him home. Markakis drew a walk, and Tyler Flowers hit a laser past short to score two and get the Braves out of a 3-0 deficit.
Johan Camargo, who homered and had three RBIs in Saturday's win, singled to left to score two more and give the Braves their first lead, 4-3.
The Marlins took advantage of a windy afternoon that threw off Braves starter R.A. Dickey's knuckleball. The Marlins walked three straight times to start the second. Miguel Rojas snuck one past short to plate the game's first run, and J.T. Realmuto found the right-center gap to make it 3-0.
Dickey settled in for the next two innings. He retired eight consecutive hitters (four via strikeout) until the fifth when Realmuto, Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich singled to tie the game at 5.
The two-run fifth chased Dickey, who finished with five innings of five-run ball, with the three walks in the second. After Gordon's homer off Ramirez, Matt Wisler gave up consecutive doubles to Stanton and Yelich.
Wisler pitched 1/3 inning, allowing two runs on two hits.
Marlins starter Odrisamer Despaigne was removed after 3-2/3 innings after issuing back-to-back walks to Albies and Freeman. He finished with six walks, with three turning into runs.
Matt hit a one-out double in the fifth, but was removed due to right hamstring tightness.
The Marlins threatened in the 11th, but Arodys Vizcaino struck Brian Anderson out with the bases loaded and two outs.
The Braves distributed 18,562 tickets to Hurricane Irma evacuees over the course of the four-game series with the Marlins.
