MIAMI -- Shelby Miller's no-hit bid ended with two out in the ninth inning Sunday when Justin Bour singled sharply up the middle, and the Atlanta Braves right-hander pitched a two-hitter in a 6-0 win over the Miami Marlins thatcompleted a three-game sweep.
Miller easily retired the first two batters in the ninth before Bour singled on the first pitch, a 95-mph fastball. Dee Gordon then reached on an infield single before Martin Prado popped out.
Bour's hit came on the 89th pitch by Miller, who threw a strike on the first pitch to 26 of 29 batters and had 70 strikes among 94 pitches.
Miller walked one and benefited from an early replay reversal to flirt with what would have been the first no-hitter for the Braves in 21 years.
