Rays 7, Braves 5

The Braves took a 3 – 0 lead after 4 innings, but were undone largely by a 4 run 7th.

Drew Smyly didn’t allow a hit until the 5th, but after a leadoff check-swing single by Brandon Lowe, Mike Zunino doubled. A wild pitch and a sacrifice fly led to Tampa Bay’s first 2 runs. Wander Franco tied the game in the 6th with a solo homer to center, and Smyly’s promising start ended after 5 2/3.

The Braves took the lead back in the bottom of the inning, when Joc Pederson drove in Stephen Vogt, and I’d like to get used to saying that.
