There was some drama after the Braves' 7-1 win over the Rockies Tuesday in Denver.

FOX Sports South reporter Kelsey Wingert tweeted a video Wednesday morning that showed several Braves players praising firefighters after they were helped from a stranded hotel elevator.

Winger tweeted: “In other news, half the team got stuck on an elevator after the game last night. No Brave was hurt in the making of this video. #Braves”

There was no immediate indication how long the players were stuck. Among the dozen or so players emerging from the elevator was catcher Tyler Flowers.

The Braves' Wednesday afternoon game against the Rockies was postponed due to inclement weather.
