The Braves carried a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth when closer Jim Johnson faltered with his fourth blown save in 15 attempts. Adam Duvall opened the inning with a double to left field and scored on Eugenio Suarez's RBI double to the right-field corner. Johnson got Scott Schebler on a called strike three and Jose Peraza grounded out to move Suarez to third base. A wild pitch to Tucker Barnhart enabled Suarez to score the tying run and force extra innings.
It had been smooth sailing most of the way for Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz, as he tied a career high with 10 strikeouts over seven scoreless innings with two hits and two walks.
