The Atlanta Braves mounted a remarkable comeback to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-8, overcoming a 6-run deficit. The game saw the Braves trailing 6-0 early on, with the Diamondbacks extending their lead to 8-2 halfway through the game. However, Atlanta rallied, scoring the last 7 runs between the 5th and 8th innings, to clinch the victory. This win secures the series for the Braves, with Chris Sale slated to pitch in the next game as they aim for a sweep.
