#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.
The @Padres have won 11 out of their last 17 games! https://t.co/BRfrYefzG3
The Padres have come all the way with 4 runs in the 8th to take the lead over the Braves. 😳 (📽️: @Padres) https://t.co/MEu5JyYUwm
#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 erase a 5-0 deficit and take an 8th-inning lead! https://t.co/nUOcDmI6cv
Back-to-back jacks from Ozuna and Olson extend #Braves’ lead to 4-0 against Padres and Dylan Cease in third inning.
#Braves last won a home series against the Padres in 2018, and can only split this one by winning both games in today’s doubleheader. The Braves have lost 11 of their past 15 games against the Padres at Truist Park.
