The Atlanta Braves' hopes of avoiding a sweep against the Arizona Diamondbacks were crushed during a heartbreaking ninth inning. Initially leading 10-4, the Braves showcased a promising offense with home runs from Austin Riley, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Drake Baldwin. However, a disastrous ninth inning saw the Diamondbacks make a stunning comeback, ultimately winning 11-10. This loss not only ended a chance for victory but was also significant as it marked the Braves' first loss with a six-run lead after eight innings since 1973. Now, they look to bounce back against the Giants in June.
Just when the Atlanta Braves' offense seemed to wake up and avoid a sweep against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the hope and excitement vanished as quickly as it came in the most horrific way.
In the sixth inning, Ronald Acuña jr. and Drake Baldwin hit back-to-back homers before Michael Harris' RBI single in the eighth, bringing in Nick Allen to give the Braves their last run to secure their six-run lead.
The top of the ninth was a nightmare for Braves' fans as the Diamondbacks did the unexpected... caught up and won in that same inning.
An 11-10 win for the Diamondbacks also resulted in a new record for the Braves, as this was their first time losing a game with a lead of six or more runs through eight innings since 1973.
