The Atlanta Braves suffered a dramatic 6-5 loss to the San Diego Padres in the first game of a doubleheader opener. The Braves initially led 5-0 after four innings, thanks to back-to-back home runs from Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson. However, the Padres mounted a comeback, scoring six unanswered runs, including four in the eighth inning against Atlanta's top reliever, Joe Jiménez. Xander Bogaerts left the game with an apparent shoulder injury. This defeat marks the Braves' fourth consecutive loss, all at home. The Padres have now won 11 out of their last 17 games.
#Braves blow a 5-0 lead, lose 6-5 in the doubleheader opener as Padres score 6 runs in the fifth through eighth innings (4 in the eighth alone off Jiménez). It's the fourth consecutive loss, all at home, for the Braves, who must win tonight to avoid being swept in 4-game series.

#Braves led 5-0 after 4 innings, and now the Padres have scored six unanswered runs including four in the 8th to take a 6-5 lead. Stunning. And they did it in the 8th against ATL's best reliever this season, Jiménez. He gave up 3 hits, 4 runs and 2 walks in one inning.
The Padres (+105 ML) once trailed 5-0... They just took the lead in the 8th! https://t.co/DYCogol4Oh
The @Padres erase a 5-0 deficit and take an 8th-inning lead! https://t.co/nUOcDmI6cv
Padres second baseman Xander Bogaerts leaves game against Braves with apparent shoulder injury https://t.co/CzuAXG4qQh
Xander Bogaerts has left the game with what appears to be a shoulder injury. Hurt diving to stop a grounder. The first game of today's doubleheader is not going well for the Padres, who trail 5-0 after three innings.
The @Braves go back-to-back in the 3rd! https://t.co/LOR5dzji3b
Back-to-back jacks from Ozuna and Olson extend #Braves’ lead to 4-0 against Padres and Dylan Cease in third inning.
