On a rainy Thursday night the Atlanta Braves beat the team formerly baseball’s best because – among other odd events – Freddie Freeman out ran a Jason Heyward throw to home. That unlikely happening capped an evening of just plain unpredictable goings on.
It’s not unusual for bad teams to beat good ones, it happened regularly. The Twins beat the Rangers yesterday, the Braves stole the Mets lunch money and the Reds left Chicago after winning two of three games against the Cubs. Last night however had a lot of the things that make baseball so much fun to watch.
