Meanwhile, Jazz Chisholm of the Miami Marlins hit his second home run in as many games but it wasn’t enough as they fell to the Atlanta Braves 6-4. 

Jazz’s long ball came in the third inning when he went deep to centerfield to make the game 2-0. The Marlins would add on a couple more in the 4th but the Braves would stage a furious rally in the 6th, taking the lead and putting the marlins away. 

Sandy Alcantara got the start for the Braves, pitching five and two-thirds, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits but relief pitcher Dylan Florio melted down in the 8th, giving up 4 runs to surrender the Marlins’ lead. 

Reliever Michael Tonkin got the win on the mound for the braves. 

The Marlins will try to avoid the sweep in their last game of this series this evening.

Also, Ray Minus was an almost mythical figure in Bahamian sports. 

Born in The Bahamas on July 3rd, 1964, minus made his boxing debut in 1982, defeating Angel Torres via knockout in Nassau. 

He would go on to amass a record of 37 and 9 over the next two decades, winning 27 of those matches via knockout. 

During his amazing career, he would hold numerous WBC and IBF titles in the bantam, super bantam, feather weight, super feather weight, light weight and light welterweight divisions before retiring in 2001 to focus on training the next generations of Bahamian boxers. 

In his retirement he started the ray minus boxing club, one of the top youth boxing clubs in the country. He mentored and developed a number of excellent Bahamian boxers including Jermaine “Choo Choo” Mackey,  Meacher “Major Pain” Major, Tauriano Johnson and many others. 

In recent years he was diagnosed with ALS, the illness to which he succumbed.

He leaves behind an adoring family and a sports legacy that will inspire generations to come.
