Despite putting up the first run of the game and not allowing a hit through the first four innings, the Braves – thanks in part to Foltynewicz's struggles with batters the third time up – gave up five runs, including a home run to Matt Joyce, in a 5-3 loss to the Pirates. Despite allowing four runs in the first inning, the Braves rallied back to score eight unanswered runs and earned Rob Whalen his first career victory as a major league pitcher in an 8-4 win over the Pirates. The Braves concluded their three-game home stand, thanks to an improbable stolen base attempt by García in the seventh inning, with a 5-2 victory to win the series against the Pirates.
