By the 4th inning, Arizona extended their lead by capitalizing on a series of walks, pushing their lead to three.
However, their offense subsequently struggled, going 2-for-20 at the plate, which paved the way for the Braves to orchestrate a comeback against the Diamondbacks’ depleted bullpen.
The turnaround began against Kevin Ginkel when rookie Blaze Alexander’s throwing error allowed the leadoff batter to reach, eventually leading to Atlanta scoring two runs in the 9th.
The Braves went on to walk it off in the 10th with a quick base hit that came with no outs.
The second game of this three-game series is scheduled for tomorrow at 4:20 PM.
