MIAMI -- Down by four runs in the ninth with a series win already in the books, it wouldn't be surprising if the Braves rolled over on the final three outs to head back to Atlanta for a 10-game homestand.\n\nBut the postseason hopeful Braves don't think that way, as
Atlanta finished its road trip 4-2 to improve to a season-best seven games over .500, and the Braves are winners of 18 of 27. The club's homestand will include matchups against National League East rivals New York and Philadelphia, which sits one game ahead of the Braves in the standings. \n\n\"I think it's huge. The Marlins were playing really exceptional baseball the last series, the last week, so to come in here and sweep them is huge,\" said Joyce, who collected three hits in his first start since May 22. \"Obviously, for our division and for our confidence and momentum to keep rolling, I think the team is playing great, man. It's been really fun to watch, fun to be a part of. It was pretty cool to battle back tonight and steal that one from them late.\"
Here are three takeaways from the series:\n\n**Coming through in the clutch** \nAtlanta entered Sunday 7-for-53 (.132) with runners in scoring position during the road trip, with a .128 BABIP. That mark won't cut it in close ballgames, especially for a contending team.\n\nEarlier in the weekend,
