Listen: Stunning 9th-inning rally exemplified best of these Braves

The Braves used a spectacular six-run ninth-inning rally to pull out a 10-9 win against the Marlins on Sunday, clinching the series and maintaining the National League’s best record before they headed to Philadelphia to start a six-game trip. The NL East-leading Braves play three against the second-place Phillies, who come in 1 ½ games back, and three at Boston, which has the majors’ second-best record.

In the latest episode of the podcast, David O’Brien discusses how this Braves team has kept up its surprising pace and how they had a good day Sunday that began with releasing Jose Bautista when it was apparent there was no need to keep starting the 37-year-old at third base hoping he would regain his power stroke.
