It’s becoming the most dangerous stretch of baseball in the league—and it belongs to the Atlanta Braves.
Through the first 24 games of the 2025 season, Atlanta is putting up eye-popping numbers in the eighth inning. A staggering 26.1% of the team’s total runs (24 of 92) have come in that single frame. They’re not just squeaking runs across, either. The Braves are slashing an absurd .306/.373/.561 in the eighth inning alone, with seven home runs and 30 hits in just 98 at-bats.
The numbers are loud, but the outcomes are even louder. Atlanta has seven comeback wins already this season, including six of their eight home victories.
