Toronto Blue JaysvsAtlanta Braves
TOR 3/ATL 4
Things to say
Braves edged the Blue Jays 4-3 at Truist Park to push to 41-20.
01
opener
Braves squeaked one out 4-3 over Toronto last night. Classic one-run game at Truist. Atlanta just keeps finding ways.
02
key player
Heart of the order did the damage again — when the middle of that Braves lineup gets into his stuff, it's lights out.
03
hot take
Toronto's bullpen is cooked. You don't blow that many close ones against a first-place club and call it bad luck.
04
deep cut
Braves are 41-20 now. Quietly the best record in the NL and nobody's talking about it because the Dodgers exist.
05
exit
Anyway — getaway day today, we'll see if Toronto can steal one before they head out.
The recap
Braves edged the Jays 4-3 at Truist in a one-run nailbiter that came down to the last at-bat. Atlanta's been bullying everybody this year and that 41-20 record is no fluke, while Toronto keeps grinding under .500 and can't seem to string anything together on the road.
Tight game all the way through, but the Braves found a way late like they always do at home. Jays bullpen couldn't hold it when it mattered.
