MIAMI (AP) - Randall Delgado pitched 6 1/3 innings and contributed his first RBI of the year Wednesday, and three relievers completed a two-hitter to help the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Brian McCann had three of the Braves' six hits and scored a run.

Delgado (4-5) allowed one run and had a career-high seven strikeouts. He won for only the second time in his past nine starts.

Braves relievers retired all eight batters they faced. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 17th save in 18 chances.

In the first two games of the series, the Braves have allowed one run and seven hits. They've won five of their past six games.

The one bit of bad news in the game came in the fourth inning, when first baseman Freddie Freeman left the game with a bruised left index finger.

Freeman was hurt trying to break up a double play when he was hit at close range by Hanley Ramirez's relay throw. Freeman was called out for interference and left the game.
