ATLANTA — All three games in the Astros-Braves series followed a familiar script: The Braves have a lead, then the Astros mount a comeback and steal a victory.
Sunday might have been the most gut-wrenching loss of the three.
The Braves saw their lead vanish when Yordan Alvarez – who terrorized them this weekend – laced a two-out, two-run single off A.J. Minter that tied the game in the top of the eighth inning. And in the ninth inning, Minter gave up a two-out, two-run single to Corey Julks that scored the go-ahead run.
