The Atlanta Braves suffered a shocking defeat at Truist Park as the Arizona Diamondbacks staged one of the most improbable comebacks in recent MLB history. Leading 10-4 with one out in the ninth inning, the Braves appeared to have the game—and a series sweep—well in hand. But the Diamondbacks erupted for seven runs in the final frame, snatching an 11-10 victory and sweeping the three-game set in Atlanta.
Eugenio Suárez delivered the decisive blow with a two-run double off Braves closer Raisel Iglesias, capping the seven-run rally. Earlier in the inning, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. sparked the surge with a solo homer, followed by a two-run shot from Alek Thomas. RBI singles from Ketel Marte and Ildemaro Vargas set the stage for Suárez’s heroics.
The Braves had built a commanding 6-0 lead after three innings and still led by six entering the ninth, only to see the bullpen falter under relentless Arizona pressure. Atlanta’s offense, which had been dormant in previous games, broke out for hits—including homers from Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, and Drake Baldwin—but it wasn’t enough to prevent a fourth straight loss.
With this defeat, the Braves fall to 27-33 on the season, now games back in the NL East, while the Diamondbacks improve to 30-31 and extend their winning streak to four games.
