					| Marlins Sneak By Braves, 2-1 |  
					| The Atlanta Braves got a superb performance from pitcher Matthew Spurrell, but the Miami Marlins still won the game, 2-1. Spurrell threw 6.2 innings of 2-hit ball. Miami is third in the National League East Division with a record of 47-65. 
 Had Bert Clark not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 1st, Clark hit a run-scoring double. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Marlins.
 
 "There was no wiggle room in this one," said Clark.
