The Atlanta Braves appeared to be dead in the water but a big ninth inning rally helped them avoid a doubleheader sweep while snapping a four-game losing streak in the process.
Atlanta entered the ninth trailing 7-3 and appeared to be headed for their fifth straight loss. The Braves wouldn’t quit however as they loaded the bases with one out against the Indians bullpen. Ender Inciarte struck out for the second out of the inning but Ozzie Albies followed with a two-run single to right to make it 7-5. Adam Cimber walked Josh Donaldson to load the bases which prompted Terry Francona to go to the bullpen to bring in left-hander Tyler Olson to face Freddie Freeman.
