Braves walk away with winning run in 10th (RR)

The Braves have had more than their share of unusual losses, and Tuesday they picked up a bizarre victory.

A balk by Colorado pitcher Taylor Buchholz with two outs in the 10th inning gave the Braves a 5-4 win in the series opener against the Rockies at Turner Field.

Call it a walk-off balk, or a balk-off win. Whatever, it was just the eighth win in 35 one-run games for the Braves.

Mike Gonzalez’s four-year streak without a blown save came to an end, too.

It was balk away with winning run!

This Braves team has zilch power right now, and the bullpen has gone to shreds. Its a bit painful watching them, but I guess a glutton for punishment.
That said, I am happy to see Dial on his way to losing another McCann bet.

I cringe every time Bobby brings Boyer into the game. Doesn't Bobby know how badly Boyer has pitched in the second half? Just shut him down. Quarantine him. He is radioactive. Please don't put him in another game this season.

The team is playing dismally, but there are significant bright spots, not the least of all McCann. Hopefully this off-season, management will address our pitching woes. And Soriano, Gonzales and Acosta will get healthy.
