Six innings into Game 4 of the 1998 NLCS it looked like the underdog Padres would be putting the Braves to rest in the most efficient way possible, but the ailing Atlanta offense was resuscitated in the seventh inning thanks to the work of Doctors Hamilton, Myers, and Miceli. The six runs scored in the top of the seventh inning were enough to buy the Braves another day of life.
The game looked like more of the same from the onset, with San Diego striking first in the third inning, scoring two runs before the Braves had registered as much as a hit.
