2024 hasn't exactly gone according to plan for the Atlanta Braves. On Sunday, it looked like the Braves were on their way to an easy victory over the Colorado Rockies on the road. They were leading 8-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, and they only allowed just two runs to cross the plate before getting the second out of the inning. The Rockies, however, went berserk, tallying six base hits, two of which went for a double, in quick succession, turning the game upside down and earning a 9-8 comeback win over Atlanta.
With every passing hit, the crowd in Coors Field became more and more invested, and it seemed like the Braves simply wilted under the pressure.
