Atlanta Beats Out Cincinnati With Stellar 7-6 Win
Braves Stay in First
Truist Park came alive last night as the Atlanta Braves took on the Cincinnati Reds in a thrilling game that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
The Braves jumped out to an early 4-1 lead, courtesy of a two-run homer by Matt Olson and an RBI single by Dansby Swanson. However, the Reds battled back, scoring three runs in the top of the fifth inning to tie the game.
Acuna's Heroics
The Braves regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth when Ronald Acuna Jr. hit a solo homer. The Reds tied the game again in the top of the seventh, but the Braves answered right back in the bottom of the inning when Olson hit a sacrifice fly to give Atlanta a 7-6 lead.
The Braves bullpen held on in the eighth and ninth innings to secure the win for Atlanta.
Dansby's Reaction
After the game, Swanson, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, said, "It was a great team win. We never gave up, and we kept fighting until the very end."
Upcoming Schedule
The Braves will be back in action tomorrow night when they take on the Miami Marlins at Truist Park. The Reds will travel to Milwaukee to take on the Brewers.
