Up 7-0, Javier Sanoja delivered big with his first career grand slam and first long ball of the season. The ball had an exit speed of 105.4 miles per hour at a launch angle of 21 degrees, traveling a total of 375 feet.

He hit a sinker at 101.2 MPH at a launch angle of 26 feet for a total distance of 397 feet. Edwards finished the game going 2/4 with two runs scored and two runs driven in. His .322 average is seventh in the majors.
Max Meyer Masterclass
Meyer displayed more of his consistency tonight, throwing a 97-pitch six-inning gem of shutout baseball. He allowed just three hits and two walks on six strikeouts. He’s certainly making his case for an All-Star nod with a 4-0 record, 2.85 ERA, 60 strikeouts, 1.12 WHIP, and .203 opponents’ batting average in 53.2 innings.
Max Meyer had a good mix of pitches, with the fastball (31%), slider (25%), and sweeper (22%) being used the most. He struck out four with the sweeper and one with the fastball and slider. His changeup (13%) and sinker (9%) were used effectively as well against righties and lefties.
Tonight was another Max Meyer masterclass for the #Marlins

Meyer got a total of 13 swing and misses, and Atlanta whiffed at 43% of Meyer’s sliders. Their three hits against him were all on the sweeper. They swung at 72% of all his pitches in the strike zone, and at least half the time for each of his five pitches.
A notable stat for Meyer tonight was that he dominated counts against the majority of his opponents. He threw first-pitch strikes 65% of the time. His four-seamer averaged 95.3 MPH while his maximum velocity clocked in at 97.0.
Bullpen Throws Scoreless Innings
John King threw a nine-pitch seventh inning, striking out one. His ERA stands at 2.18. Calvin Faucher delivered in the eighth with two strikeouts, lowering his earned run average to 2.89. Lake Bachar was flawless in the ninth and finished the game with a 2.63 ERA.
