"The Braves not only won out in this game after looking not just dead in the water, but 'we threw ourselves with our legs encased in cinder blocks into the water,' courtesy of a ginormous ninth-inning rally capped off by a walk-off grand slam by Dominic Smith."
"Drake Baldwin laid off a bunch of elevated fastballs and drew a leadoff walk, and Matt Olson made up for an earlier miscue by roping a single into right to put the tying run on base."
"Estevez then totally fell apart, walking Ozzie Albies on four nowhere-near pitches. Michael Harris II then lashed a comebacker into Estevez' feet, pushing the tying run across."
