ATLANTA — It was no surprise to see an Atlanta pinch-hitter named Adams head to the plate with the bases loaded in the sixth inning.
The first name, however, may have been unexpected. Sorry Matt, this was Lane Adams' time to shine.
Lane Adams drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double that gave Atlanta the lead, and the Braves beat the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks 8-5 on Saturday night.
Matt Adams, given a night off with Freddie Freeman starting at first base instead of his new home at third, also was on the bench in the sixth.
