So, I settled down to watch the Braves and a Disco Era Uniform Throwback Game broke out.

The game started off well, with Matt AdamsJeff Burroughs launching a second inning shot for a quick 1-0 lead. R.A. DickeyPhil Niekro was dominant through 5. Unfortunately, he pitched into the 6th, when the Big Red Machine woke up and launched three homers off his now non-knuckleball. Joey VottoTony Perez led off with a single, then Adam DuvallGeorge Foster homered. Inspired by the blast, Eugenio SuarezPete Rose and Jesse WinkerDan Dreissen added solo shots to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead.
