That ball looked like it was heading for center field at 104 mph off the bat, but Chapman with the skate save puts out the fire. #Braves made it interesting, but what a frustrating finish for Ha-Seong Kim especially.
Final: Red Sox 3, #Braves 2.
⭐️ Before Willson Contreras tonight, the last time a #RedSox batter connected for a 2-out, go-ahead HR in the 8th inning or later of an Interleague game was also here at #Braves. It came off the bat of Alex Verdugo on June 15, 2021 (also top of 8th inning).
#Braves are in a long string of games without an off day and leaned on the bullpen a lot yesterday. Have to work around some guys not always being available. And the way Elder was going, he was as good an option as any to stick with.
Man, Bryce Elder threw such a good game but two-out trouble in the 8th sees Boston take a 3-2 lead. #Braves need another late rally.
#Braves Manager Walt Weiss certainly seems to have all day to decide whether to challenge.

#Braves Drake Baldwin in 2026:

Leads all MLB catchers with 13 HR.

Leads MLB with 8 first inning HR.

Perhaps most impressive, he also leads all LHH with 7 HR vs. LHP.

If it wasn't so painful to watch it would be comical. Duran leads off with a double but is stranded there to start the game at #Braves.

This season 27% of #RedSox baserunners score (even though it feels more like 10%). That ranks 26th of the 30 #MLB teams. ATL baserunners score 35% of the time.
