  • Eury Pérez (4-3, 2.70 ERA) will start for Miami against veteran Carlos Carrasco (2-2, 5.68 ERA) at 7:15 p.m. EDT Thursday in Atlanta.
  • Miami holds a 3-2 advantage over Atlanta in the season series entering their sixth matchup.
  • Xavier Edwards’ four-hit performance on Wednesday underlines the Marlins’ offensive spark despite their sub-.500 record.
