"If you don't, I'll help remind you. The Braves gave up three runs in the early innings, and would scratch together three runs to tie the game in the sixth inning. Then the Braves poured it on in the eighth, scoring eight without aid of a home run. In the bottom of the inning, the Reds used two home runs to help score those eight right back. The Braves would take it to the tenth, when two well-placed fly balls brought home the Manfred ghost"
"Raisel Iglesias would hold on in the bottom of the inning. Yes, the Braves won a game in extras playing small ball and hitting zero home runs while giving up eight runs in the eighth and three home runs overall. Seriously. And Eli White made a great baserunning play. No, I'm not kidding. Sit down in that chair right there and I'll tell you about it."
A July 31 Braves–Reds game produced an improbable extra-innings victory for the Braves after an eight-run eighth by both teams and three overall home runs allowed. The Braves tied the game in the sixth and then scored eight in the eighth without any homers; the Reds answered with two homers to erase that advantage. The game went to the tenth, where two well-placed fly balls produced the decisive run and Raisel Iglesias closed in the bottom half. Carlos Carrasco made his first Braves start; Andrew Abbott issued five walks, helping the Braves' mid-game rally.
