MIAMI—The Atlanta Braves’ run of six straight NL East titles ended Friday night with a 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins as Jake Burger singled and doubled.

Atlanta (83-71) cannot mathematically win the division and trails by two games back for the last NL wild-card spot. The Braves have eight games left, including three at home against a New York Mets team they are trying to overcome.
