    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

The Braves (25-23 second half, 54-64 second half) took the lead when Demeritte led off the second inning with a home run to left field off Jacksonville right-hander Cody Poteet (2-10). Demeritte also began a fourth-inning rally with a leadoff single, before Marlette hit a two-run home run to left field. Catcher Carlos Martinez then singled, and Lien hit his third home run in two games to left field, making it 5-0. Mississippi has hit eight homers in the last three games. In his second Double-A start, Muller (2-0) recorded nine of his first 11 outs on strikeouts. With a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning, he walked shortstop Joe Dunand and hit first baseman John Silviano with one out, before catcher Rodrigo Vigil hit a two-out, three-run home run to left field – his first at home since the home opener exactly four months earlier.
