For the 11th time in 18 games and for the fourth day in a row, the Braves lost. This time, the defeat came at the hands of the Chicago Cubs, who are continuing their run towards the postseason. The home team used a four-run third inning to blaze past the Braves and never looked back after that point as they won 7-1.
The third inning was indeed the turning point of the game, and it coincided with the most controversial moment of the game. Fredi Gonzalez and tonight's home plate umpire Doug Eddings don't exactly have an amicable history, and things reached a boiling point when Fredi strongly and audibly disagreed with the calls that Mike Foltynewicz was getting.
