The bad part is the Atlanta Braves had the lead in the bottom of the 9th and had 2 outs and blew it.
Let’s now take a look at three takeaways from the extra innings affair.
1. Outstanding Defense
Both teams played outstanding defense as was evidenced by the fact this game was a 1-1 pitching duel entering the 9th inning.
Josh Donaldson was making some Chipper Jones-type one-handed plays at the hot corner and the rest of the Braves seemed to have straightened up some defense that had plagued them in the Dodger series.
