Video: Braves’ Brandon Phillips tosses dirt into Marcell Ozuna’s face against Marlins
Atlanta Braves third baseman Brandon Phillips tossed dirt in the face of Miami Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna during Sunday’s game at SunTrust Park.
As Ozuna was rounding the bases on a three-run home run in the first inning, Phillips tossed a handful of red clay directly into Ozuna's face.
Ozuna swatted the dirt away from his face before he rounded third.
The Braves went on to lose Sunday’s game 4-1 and fall short of the series sweep.
