The Braves escaped with a 4-3 win on Saturday afternoon, turning what was at one point a comfortable 4-1 advantage into a nailbiter late. In the end, A.J. Minter got Josh Bell to roll out to short with the tying and go-ahead runs on base to secure Atlanta’s 51st victory of the season.
The Kyle Wright-Patrick Corbin matchup in this game favored the Braves, and that’s how things played out early. Wright collected two strikeouts in the first, and with two outs and Ronald Acuña Jr. on base, Austin Riley connected off Corbin to give his team an early 2-0 lead.
