Atlanta BravesvsBaltimore Orioles
ATL 7/BAL 6
Things to say
The Braves beat the Orioles 7-6 in 10 innings at Camden Yards.
01
opener
Man, that one went the distance. Braves took it 7-6 in extras. Camden Yards nearly stole one but Atlanta just had more in the tank.
02
key player
Heart of the order carried Atlanta all night. When you're a 61-42 club, the big bats show up in the tenth, and they did.
03
hot take
Baltimore's manager went to the pen too early again. You leave a lead like that on the bullpen's shoulders and this is what happens.
04
deep cut
Whole thing flips if the O's push a run across in the ninth instead of stranding guys. They left the yard's worth of runners on base.
05
exit
Braves are rolling at 61-42, so I'm watching how they line up their rotation down the stretch. Should be fun.
The recap
Braves and Orioles went the distance at Camden Yards, and Atlanta stole it 7-6 in extra innings. Neither bullpen could slam the door in regulation, so this one spilled into the tenth knotted up.
Atlanta pushed across the go-ahead run in the top of the frame and their pen finally locked it down in the bottom half. Getaway-day win for a Braves club that's now sitting pretty at 61-42, while Baltimore drops back under .500.
