Braves blow three leads, lose 7-6 on walkoff homer

Sigh. Another day gone by, another recap where the play-by-play really isn’t worth recounting. In this one, the Braves hopped ahead to a 4-0 lead, and then bled it all the way back, with Max Fried being left out arguably too long in the middle innings, and then Kenley Jansen unable to prevent a leadoff walk from scoring to tie the game in the ninth. The Braves went ahead thanks to a defensive misplay in the tenth, but then Darren O’Day couldn’t make the lead stand up. They got a ridiculous gift single to go ahead yet ahead in the 11th, but then Jesse Chavez gave up a mammoth dead-center walkoff homer to Keston Hiura, and hey, the Braves are 17-21 now.
