Atlanta — Well, it was fun for a minute.

The Tigers, like a sudden thunderclap, tied the game in the top of the eighth inning only to see everything unravel in the bottom of the inning.

The Atlanta Braves scored four runs off reliever Joe Jimenez to beat the Tigers 7-4 and take the three-game series.

Freddie Freeman laced a double into the corner in right field, scoring Dansby Swanson from first base, to break the tie. After an intentional walk to Josh Donaldson, Jimenez fielded a ground ball from Austin Riley.
