In a tight, tense, thrilling game Saturday night, the Braves beat the Padres 7-5 in 10 innings. Props to San Diego for starting at 5:40 Pacific time, rather than a couple of hours later as the night before. Otherwise I would have gone to bed and missed one of the most exciting games of the year.
The game started a lot like Friday’s game. Donaldson hit another bomb to right center after a Swanson walk, giving the Braves a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the first, Julio hung a slider to Machado, who hit a no doubter line drive to left.
