Braves’ Brian Snitker unloads after bullpen collapse vs. Diamondbacks

The Atlanta Braves suffered what may be their most humiliating loss of the Brian Snitker era Thursday, blowing a six-run ninth-inning lead to the Arizona Diamondbacks in a stunning 11–10 loss at Truist Park. The Braves bullpen collapse was historic—ending a 766-game win streak when leading by six or more runs after eight innings.

The disaster began with Scott Blewett allowing a home run, a walk, and a two-run shot in quick succession. Raisel Iglesias entered with one out and a three-run cushion but surrendered four hits—including a two-run double by Eugenio Suárez—to complete one of the worst late-game meltdowns in franchise history.
