The offense exploded for the Atlanta Braves who avoided a sweep with a 14-3 blowout win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Braves struck first Wednesday as Ozzie Albies hit a hustle double and then came around to score on a single by Austin Riley. That double was Albies’ 24th of the season.
Unfortunately, they wouldn’t hold the lead for long as Drew Smyly got off to a shaky start. Adam Frazier singled to lead off the inning and then moved over to third on a double by Ke’Bryan Hayes.
