Braves snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in awful collapse against Red Sox

After blowing a six-run lead in a comically bad eighth inning and then having a moment of bliss by taking the lead back in the bottom of that same inning, the Braves managed to give up a two-run home run to a player who had not appeared in a major league game in nearly one calendar year in order to suffer what has to be the worst loss of the season.

This was such a bad loss because things started out so well for the Braves. In fact, we had the best omen of all, which is a leadoff home run from Ronald Acuña Jr.
