Jurickson Profar‘s 2 run, 2 out single in the bottom of the 8th broke open a 2 -2 tie, and the Braves held on to take the season series 8 games to 5.

Ozzie Albies led off the 8th with a single off Gregory Soto, who then went on to record 2 quick outs. However, Soto walked Sean Murphy and hit Vidal Brujan with a pitch, setting the stage for Profar’s bloop into center field.

Bryce Elder was the good kind of inconsistent, completing 6 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 walks, and striking out 6. You can check out or review JonathanF’s analysis of Elder’s inconsistency here. A two run homer by Mark Vientos in the 2nd accounted for the only runs Elder allowed. Raisel Iglesias also allowed 3 hits, but gave up only half as many runs, pitching around trouble to record his 22nd save.

Profar, Murphy, and Ronald Acuna Jr. had 2 hits each for the Braves, Murphy driving in the Braves first 2 runs in the 6th with the Braves other 2 run, 2 out single of the day.

Atlanta is now 33 – 33 on the season at home. They will try in Miami on Monday to improve their road record. 6:40 Eastern, Spencer Strider and Edward Cabrera scheduled.
