The Atlanta Braves took down the Minnesota Twins in 10 innings, 8-6. They overcame losing their 4-0 lead in the late innings to pull out a win. They’ve won their fifth straight series and have won 12 of their last 17.
In total, the Braves scored eight runs on 11 hits and were an impressive 6-for-15 (.400) with runners in scoring position.
Just after going a perfect 5-for-5 on Monday night, Whit Merrifield went a brutal 0-for-6 on Tuesday from the lead-off spot. That’s baseball for you, folks. He put the ball in play five of those times for what it’s worth.
