The biggest, the largest... Drake Baldwin with a grand slam! 💥 https://t.co/QdVeDMFSJY Via @Braves on X

What happened: Drake Baldwin hit an opposite-field grand slam in the ninth inning, cutting Atlanta's deficit to 10-8. The Atlanta Braves added another run before the 10-9 final.

Why it matters: The loss dropped Atlanta to 52-36 despite a five-run ninth inning. Baldwin's late grand slam showed the lineup's ability to threaten even after falling seven runs behind.

By the numbers: Baldwin's first career grand slam was his 15th home run of 2026. The 383-foot drive left his bat at 101.3 mph against a 97.4 mph sinker.

What to watch: Atlanta will look to convert its late offensive momentum into a stronger start in its next game.
