ATLANTA — A patch of bad weather didn’t ruin an otherwise splendid Sunday for the Atlanta Braves.

Max Fried allowed no hits in five scoreless innings, Marcell Ozuna homered and the Braves won their fifth straight game, beating the Miami Marlins 7-1 in a rain-delayed matchup at Truist Park.

The Braves — the reigning World Series champions — have won 20 of their past 25 games to move a season-high 33 games over .500. Atlanta’s quest for a fifth straight National League East Division title is also very much alive, with the club moving within one game of the first-place New York Mets, who on Sunday took their second straight loss against the last-place Washington Nationals.

Atlanta is 61-24 since June 1 for MLB’s best mark over that span.
