Does this game warrant an actual recap? Nah. Instead let’s just list all the infuriating things about this game. I’m sure the picture will congeal.
First and foremost, the Braves’ division lead has expired. Their loss and the Phillies’ big impending win in Pittsburgh (they currently hold a 10-run lead) will move the two competitors into a tie atop the division.
Second, the Braves have lost four straight games for the first time this season. While this game was closer than the others they’ve lost in the skid, it was also the dumbest and most easily preventable loss, but that didn’t stop it from going down as a capital “L” in the ledger.
