A very forgettable night for Atlanta.
It was a night full of bullpen struggles as the Braves dropped game one to the Padres 11-6 on Friday. The Braves were unable to salvage a 6-4 lead as Will Smith, Spencer Strider, and Darren O’Day surrendered 7 runs in the last 3 innings.
The highlight of the game was seeing Dansby Swanson come to life and collect 4 RBI. He crushed a 3-run homer in the sixth to give the Braves their 6-4 lead that was blown shortly after.
