After a thrilling win Saturday night, the Atlanta Braves will try to score their third win over the San Diego Padres this weekend Sunday when they wrap up a long road trip at Petco Park. The series begin on an ominous note as Atlanta dropped a 6-5 decision in the resumption of a suspended game from the end of July. Max Fried restored order in the night cap tossing a complete game shutout in a 4-0 win. Then the Braves overcame deficits of 3-0 and 7-3 to score a 10-8 win in 10 innings.
That win lowered Atlanta’s magic number to clinch the NL East to seven and eliminated the Padres from postseason contention.
