Sean Murphy reached on a two-run fielding error by right fielder Seiya Suzuki in the eighth inning and the major league-leading Atlanta Braves overcame a six-run deficit to beat the Chicago Cubs 7-6 on Tuesday night.
"I thought it was going to get caught, but it in the lights or whatever happened, I don't know," Murphy said. "It's good to be lucky some days."
"I was actually seeing it pretty well until the very last second," Suzuki said through a translator. "I honestly thought it went into my glove, so it was just that split second where it just blurred my vision." The Braves cut it to 6-3 in the sixth on Kevin Pillar's ninth homer, Olson's RBI single and Marcell Ozuna's RBI double. Pillar's drive gave the Braves 300 homers for the season and made them the third team in major league history to hit 300."We know what we're capable of offensively," Pillar said. "We just try to be a dangerous offense and compensate when the pitching is not on that day.
Elder allowed seven hits, five runs and four walks in 3 2/3 innings. He has a 9.49 ERA in his last three starts. Justin Steele gave up six hits and three runs in 5 1/3 innings."What a job the bullpen did tonight," Murphy, the Braves' catcher, said of the performances by Jackson Stephens, Pierce Johnson, Hand and Iglesias. "Those guys kept us in the game and gave the offense a chance.
