Matt Olson, Marcell Ozuna, and Michael Harris II hit home runs to lead Atlanta past Miami 7-1. Joey Wentz had a strong start, allowing one run in 5 1/3 innings.

Pawol's rise to make MLB history came 28 years after the NBA gender barrier for game officials was broken and 10 years after the NFL hired its first full-time female official. The men's soccer World Cup first hired a female referee three years ago. The NHL has not had any women as on-ice officials.

"The dream actually came true today, and I’m still living in it," MLB's first female umpire said after working her first game.
