Braves rally late to take rubber game from Pirates, 5-2

The Braves scored four times across the seventh and eighth innings to send the Pirates to a .500 record and garner a rare series win. Tyrell Jenkins pitched six one-run innings, keeping the game close until the offense broke through.

Well, what do you know, a series win! The Braves edged the Pirates in this one, taking a 1-1 tie into the seventh inning before erupting for four runs in the next two frames to send the Pirates back to a .500 record.

Tyrell Jenkins had a very Tyrell Jenkins-y start. The good news was that he allowed just one run over six frames, the bad news is that he allowed four walks while striking out just two.
