How the game was won: The Braves rallied from a 5-3 deficit in the ninth inning, using Freddie Freeman's homer and Jace Peterson's three-run triple to pull out a 7-5 win against the Giants for a four-game series split at AT&T Park.
Joe Panik’s two-run homer in the seventh off Braves reliever Donnie Veal gave the Giants a 5-3 lead, but the Braves fought back and scored four in the ninth against usually dominant closer Santiago Casilla, who had a 1.66 ERA before Sunday.
Number: 7. Runs allowed by Braves reliever Donnie Veal in five appearances, including at least one run every time he's pitched. He faced three batters in the seventh inning Sunday and gave up a game-tying single and a two-run homer to Panik.
What's next: The Braves open a three-game series at Arizona on Monday at 9:40 p.m. (EDT), with left-hander Alex Wood (3-2, 3.50 ERA) facing Diamondbacks right-hander Archie Bradley (2-2, 5.28).
