Braves at Reds game thread

The Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds had a crazy game last night. For only the third time in MLB history, two teams scored eight runs in the same inning.

Bryce Elder has been struggling mightily and the Braves need him to turn things around today. Yesterday a casual MLB fan may not realize that both of these teams have underperformed offensively this season after they both surged yesterday.

Can the Braves carry the momentum from yesterday’s crazy win to another victory?

First pitch is at 12:40 EDT.
