Atlanta scored twice in the fifth inning to take a 3-1 lead. Two walks and a single loaded the bases, and Drake Baldwin drew a run-scoring walk, the final ball coming after play was temporarily stopped while Holmes switched out his PitchCom device. Reliever Huascar Brazoban entered and walked Albies on four pitches to force in another run.

The Braves broke the game open by scoring four times in the sixth inning. With one out and the bases loaded, Olson lined a double to right field that cleared the bags. Olson scored when Baldwin singled to right.

New York’s Juan Soto singled off Strider in the first inning to pick up his 1,000th career hit. However, teammate Jeff McNeil went 0-for-4 and saw his streak of reaching base end at 20 games.
