Seldom has an 0-7 team felt as good about its chances to win a game as the Braves did before their home opener Friday against the Miami Marlins. Not so much because they had won seven of eight home openers since moving to Truist Park.

Spencer Schwellenbach carried a perfect game into the fifth inning, Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 10-0 for their long-awaited first win.

Matt Olson seemed to provide a perfect assessment of where the Braves stood after the season’s first week, when he said, “You don’t go play golf and double-bogey the first hole and mail it in.”
