MIAMI (AP) — Freddie Freeman and Adam Duvall homered in a seven-run fourth inning, and the surging Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 12-2 on Monday night. “I thought our out at-bats were really good early,” Miami manager Don Mattingly said. IF YOU CAN’T BEAT HIMAfter Duvall tormented Braves pitching during his half-season with the Marlins, Braves manager Brian Snitker is glad to have the outfielder back in his dugout. Duvall hit .368 with five homers and 17 RBI in the 12 games he played against the Braves this season. “We will have influence as to who wins this division,” Marlins general manager Kim Ng said before Monday’s game.
