Rookie shortstop Tyler Pastornicky hit leadoff for the first time as Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez rested centerfielder Michael Bourn.
Pastornicky, the normal No. 8 hitter, led off the first with a single, moved to third on Martin Prado's double and scored on Freddie Freeman's groundout to first base.
Buehrle retired 10 straight batters after the double by Prado, who had three hits.
Heath Bell pitched the ninth in a non-save situation for Miami.
NOTES: Heyward made his first career start in centerfield. ... The Marlins' record for wins in May is 16 in three seasons, most recently 2008. ... Bourn popped out to left field as a pinch-hitter in the ninth. ... Freeman returned after missing one game with a scratch on his right eye. ... RHP Ricky Nolasco will attempt to take sole possession of the Marlins' record for career wins when he faces RHP Brandon Beachy (4-1), who leads the major leagues with his 1.60 ERA, on Thursday night. Nolasco (4-1) is tied with Dontrelle Willis at 68 wins.
