Atlanta BravesvsSan Diego Padres
ATL 6/SD 7
Things to say
The Padres beat the Braves 7-6 in 10 innings on a walk-off at Petco Park.
01
opener
Padres-Braves went extras, 7-6 San Diego. Walk-off in the bottom of the 10th at Petco. Braves had it and let it slip late.
02
key player
Heart of the San Diego order carried it — the guy keeps leaving the yard in big spots and his OBP is unreal right now.
03
hot take
Atlanta's manager went to the pen too early and it cost him. Pull your starter when he's still got his stuff, this is what happens.
04
deep cut
Wild part is the Braves are 48-30 and still lost this — they're miles better on paper, San Diego just grinds at home.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow — let's see if the Braves bullpen bounces back or if San Diego steals the series.
The recap
Padres walked it off 7-6 over Atlanta in extras, stealing one in the bottom of the tenth at Petco. The Braves came in red-hot at 48-30 and looked like they'd take it, but they couldn't slam the door late and San Diego clawed back to force the extra frame.
Once it got to the tenth, the home crowd got their moment as the Padres pushed across the winner. Atlanta's bullpen has to be kicking itself on this one.
