Overview

• The Braves lost 2-1 to the Padres on Friday night at Truist Park, with a ninth-inning base-running error sealing their defeat.
• Pinch runner Eli White misread Ozzie Albies's single to center field as caught, leading to his being tagged out at second base while retreating.
• The play, widely regarded as one of the season's most baffling base-running errors, ended the game and squandered a chance to tie the score.
• Ronald Acuña Jr., returning to the lineup after an ACL tear, hit a home run earlier in the game, a moment overshadowed by the late-inning mistake.
• The Braves will look to rebound in the final two games of the series against the Padres this weekend.
