Not really, but it feels that way after Yunel Escobar blasted a two-run 10th inning homerun to beat the Florida Marlins at Turner Field. The Braves had a lead, blew a lead, had a lead, blew a lead, tied the game and then won it in extra innings. Quite a night for the enigma that is the Atlanta Braves.
John Smoltz came of the D.L. and proceeded to blow the save with pitches up in the strike zone to the heart of the Marlins' order. Down 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th, the Braves rallied for a run behind two walks, a fielder's choice and a wild pitch. That's right - no hits.
The 10th inning began with Kelly Johnson drawing a walk and ended with Yunel Escobar blasting a home run off the top of the fence. Hopefully this is the type of win that can turn around a topsy-turvy season for the Bravos.
Series continues tomorrow night on the Peachtree channel. I actually have that one, thought it took me two months to find it.
