4. Morton surrendered six runs over 5 2/3 innings. Pitching with a four-run lead, he allowed two runs in the bottom of the fourth and one in the bottom of the fifth.

Then Miami scored three in the sixth. Two were charged to Morton, but the third went to Dylan Lee, who served up a two-run homer that put Atlanta in a two-run hole.

But baseball’s best offense wasn’t done yet.

5. The Braves on Monday will start Darius Vines, whom they recalled on Friday. Vines hasn’t pitched since April 4.

The open spot in the rotation was scheduled to come around Tuesday, but the Braves moved Reynaldo López – who had been lined up to start Monday’s opener in Houston – to Tuesday. Max Fried will pitch on Wednesday.

The Braves just didn’t want Vines going too long without pitching. López last started on April 9, so he’s had less time between outings.

But first, a happy flight for the Braves, who’ll enjoy this victory.
