This Day in Braves History: Milwaukee Braves win 1957 World Series
"1996 - Gary Gaetti hits a grand slam off Greg Maddux to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8 - 3 win over the Atlanta Braves and a tie of the NLCS. Todd Stottlemyre gets the victory. 1997 - The Florida Marlins take Game 3 of the NLCS by defeating the Atlanta Braves by a score of 5 - 2. Charles Johnson drives home three of Florida's runs, and Livan Hernandez gets the victory in relief."
"1998 - The San Diego Padres win their third in a row over the Atlanta Braves, 4 - 1, in the NLCS, as Sterling Hitchcock and four relief pitchers hold the Braves in check. 2001 - Atlanta take a two-games-to-none lead in their National League Division Series with the Astros behind Tom Glavine's 1 - 0 victory. Shortstop Julio Lugo's throwing error aids the winning run, which crosses the plate on a double play."
Lew Burdette's 5 - 0 victory in 1957 secured the Milwaukee Braves the World Championship. Gary Gaetti's 1996 grand slam tied the NLCS for the Cardinals, with Todd Stottlemyre earning the win. The Florida Marlins won Game 3 of the 1997 NLCS, powered by Charles Johnson and Livan Hernandez. The San Diego Padres defeated Atlanta in 1998 to notch a three-game streak in the NLCS. In 2001 Tom Glavine's 1 - 0 victory gave Atlanta a 2-0 Division Series lead aided by a Julio Lugo throwing error. The 2015 Chase Utley slide broke Ruben Tejada's leg, led to a suspension, and prompted a new MLB slide rule. John Farrell did not return as Red Sox manager after 2017, and the Phillies fired Gabe Kapler in 2019 after two disappointing seasons.
