ATLANTA — It was another three hours of lead changes and walks and big hits and big outs and an October night’s worth of tension in early-April game.
The Padres are back to .500, and they are halfway through what has so far been a thrilling series against the Braves.
Friday night’s 5-4 victory was earned with aggressive baserunning and opportunistic hitting early and scoreless work by relievers Brent Honeywell, Luis Garcia and Josh Hader over the final 4 1/3 innings.
