Braves melt in eighth, lose to Pirates 3-2

Ozzie Albies committed a crucial error in the eighth, booting a double play ball that allowed the eventual winning run to score. Then, in the ninth, he made a crucial out that was part of the reason the Braves could not complete their rally, and ending up dropping their third straight game by a 3-2 score. Since the Phillies won in walkoff fashion at about the exact same time that the Braves lost this game, their division lead is now down to two games.

This game was largely an exercise in frustration for the Braves and their fans.
