Matt Olson, Marcell Ozuna and Michael Harris II all homered for the Atlanta Braves, who defeated the visiting Miami Marlins 7-1 on Sunday.
Jurickson Profar went 2-for-5 with an RBI and scored twice for the Braves, who claimed four of the five games against the Marlins in the four-day series.
All four players contributed to a four-run seventh inning that put the game away and secured the victory for Joey Wentz (3-3). The lefty allowed four hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings.
However, all that traffic on the bases led to just one run, and Wentz earned his first victory as a starter since May 8, 2023.
Four Braves relievers limited Miami to just two hits over the final 3 2/3 innings.
The Marlins jumped ahead in the top of the second inning thanks to Liam Hicks' RBI single, which scored Derek Hill after he clubbed a two-out double to extend the inning.
Hicks went to second on the play at home and third after an error by catcher Sean Murphy, but he was stranded there after Javier Sanoja flew out to Harris in center.
Olson, who went 2-for-3 with a walk and scored twice, led off the Braves' fourth with a home run to right-center, his 19th of the season, off Marlins starter Cal Quantrill. The Miami starter threw four innings and allowed just the one run on three hits while striking out one.
Tyler Phillips (1-1) came on in relief and hit Nacho Alvarez Jr. between strikeouts of Eli White and Nick Allen. Profar doubled to right to give the Braves the lead, and he added an insurance run after Phillips threw two wild pitches.
Ozuna hit his 19th homer of the season, a three-run shot to left off Tyler Zuber that also brought home Profar and Olson. An out later, Harris belted his 12th of the year to right against Zuber as part of a 2-for-4 game.
Xavier Edwards logged two of Miami's six hits.
Umpire Jen Pawol added to her historic weekend by calling balls and strikes behind the plate. The 48-year-old became the first female MLB umpire the day before when she was on the crew for both ends of the Marlins-Braves doubleheader.
