Atlanta Braves Lose 2-1 To San Diego Padres
By thelandryhat
What a painful loss for the Atlanta Braves tonight against the San Diego Padres. The 2-1 extra inning loss was indicative of another offensive struggle for the Braves. Even Martin Prado went 0-6. Without Adam LaRoche, the Braves might be out of it. He gave the Braves another chance to win but they blew it.
San Diego’s pitching staff was unbelievable. But the Braves bullpen kept this game close until Kris Medlen finally gave up a run.
What do you make of games like this? Games that the Braves have to win. Games they must win.
Contenders win those games. The Braves could be as many as 6 games out of the wildcard race depending on how the Rockies do against the Giants tonight.
