Braves watch big lead slip away in loss to Astros

The Atlanta Braves jumped out to an 8-0 lead, but saw the Houston Astros mount a big comeback in a 11-8 loss.

The Braves didn’t waste any time getting on the scoreboard. Forrest Wall got things started reaching on an error by Houston shortstop Jeremy Pena. Wall stole second and then came around to score on a single to right by Ehire Adrianza. Marcell Ozuna followed with a bloop single to right to put runners at the corners. However, they were unable to do anymore damage as Jose Urquidy recovered and struck out Sam Hilliard, Ryan Casteel and Braden Shewmake to end the inning.
