Tuesday night at Truist Park is why the Atlanta Braves will win the World Series. Tuesday night at Truist Park is also why they won’t.
Bear with me. The Braves won one of those games they’ve become famous for winning this year. They came back from a 6-0 deficit against the Chicago Cubs to win 7-6 when Seiya Suzuki misjudged a fly ball to right center and two unearned runs crossed the plate.
And lest you think the Cubbies are merely playing out the string at the end of a long season, they are fighting for their playoff lives, trying to secure a wildcard spot and a win last night would have helped them enormously.
