Braves end up losing 6-5 after Tatis Jr. homers off Smith

The Braves resumed their suspended game down by a run. They lost it by a run, too, but not without some fireworks. This recap can be quick, since you already know what happened on July 21.

The Braves wasted a scoring chance against new pitcher Pierce Johnson in the bottom of the fifth. Johnson ended up walking both Dansby Swanson and Freddie Freeman, but a flyout and a strikeout ruined that chance. Jesse Chavez stayed in the game for the next half-inning and also put up a goose egg, despite a leadoff walk and later, an intentional free pass to pinch-hitter Manny Machado.
