The 2025 MLB season is officially one week old, and for the Atlanta Braves, it has been an unrelenting nightmare.
Entering their series finale against the Dodgers Wednesday night, the Braves had yet to win a game this season. They were 0-6, having been swept in a four-game series by a much-improved Padres team in San Diego and on the verge of getting swept for a second straight series, this time by the juggernaut Dodgers in Los Angeles. After jumping out to first inning, 2-0 and second inning, 5-2 leads, chances seemed strong Atlanta would finally notch their first victory of the ‘25 season.
