Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. and Drake Baldwin had each homered and it looked like Atlanta was about to get a much needed easy win. Unfortunately, what transpired next is among the worst losses in franchise history.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">We may have just watched one of the worst regular season losses in Braves franchise history<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">It is almost impressive that the Braves found a way to lose this game. Being up six runs in the ninth inning at home is pretty much as safe as it gets in the game of baseball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Scott Blewett even got Eugenio Suarez to strike out to start the inning. After that, everything fell apparent. In case you were wondering what a seven run rally in an inning looks like, here is how this one went from Arizona.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><em><strong>Home run<br \/>\nWalk<br \/>\nHome run<br \/>\nWalk<\/p>\n<p>Take Blewett out, bring in Raisel Iglesias<\/p>\n<p>Double<br \/>\nSingle<br \/>\nSingle<br \/>\nDouble<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">That is a special kind of terrible. Blewett absolutely been able to get through that inning with a six run lead, but could only manage one out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Based on all the evidence we have right now, it sure seems like\u00a0Iglesias is washed\u00a0and Atlanta should be looking for a new closer. The heart of the order had a chance to redeem the Braves in the bottom of the ninth, but instead Marcell Ozuna grounded into a double play and Atlanta went quietly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">If you are looking for total rock bottom, the Braves have found it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It honestly felt like it couldn&#8217;t get worse for the Atlanta Braves heading into Thursday.
