In the top of the ninth inning with two outs, Braves first baseman Matt "Big City" Adams hit a three-run home run to tie Sunday's game 4-4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

In the series finale, Adams hit his 16th home run of the season to far right field, sending the game into extra innings.

The Braves (47-50) went on to lose Sunday’s game 5-4 when Dodgers’ Logan Forsythe hit a walk-off single with bases-loaded in the 10th inning.
