The Braves entered a three-game interleague matchup at Fenway after a disappointing series and needed to recover offensively. Early struggles continued as they went down quickly in the first inning, while Spencer Strider allowed back-to-back homers to start the game. Atlanta fell behind and had to rally again. Ranger Suárez looked in control until the fifth inning when Matt Olson hit a two-run homer to tie the game. In the next inning, the Braves took the lead as Austin Riley hit a triple off the Monster and Michael Harris II added an RBI ground-rule double. Suárez was removed after the Braves built momentum and the game shifted in Atlanta’s favor.
"This one started very inauspiciously in the first inning for the Braves as they went down in order very quickly against Ranger Suárez while Spencer Strider gave up back-to-back homers to start things off. Atlanta would be forced to come from behind yet again and while it took a while for things to get really interesting as far as the Braves were concerned, the road team appeared to be up for the task of making it happen."
"Suárez was seemingly cruising until the fifth inning, which is when he was suddenly jarred out of that false sense of security by Matt Olson hitting a lightning bolt of a two-run homer that tied things up. The Braves went on to run Suárez out of the game in the next frame, as an Austin Riley triple off of the Monster and an RBI ground rule double from Michael Harris II gave the Braves the lead and Suárez the hook."
