It was another wild game in Atlanta with the Bench Mob attempting to pull off another miracle. They got down early after David Peterson struggled but Tomas Nido gave them a temporary lead late with another clutch hit. Unfortunately the thin and exhausted bullpen couldn’t make it stand and Ronald Acuña ended it with a walk-off home run in the ninth.
It seemed odd Pete Alonso never got into a close game after being given the day off but afterwards Luis Rojas revealed the first baseman has been dealing with a hand injury. The x-rays came back negative but an MRI isn’t out of the question just yet.
