Atlanta trailed 4-0 in the second inning and 5-3 in the eighth when Drake Baldwin singled off Pete Fairbanks (0-1) leading off, Mike Yastrzemski singled with two outs and Ozzie Albies was hit by a pitch. Smith pulled a cutter that landed on the warning track in left-center for his third hit. Smith, who drove in Atlanta's first run with a second-inning single, is batting .395 with 15 RBIs. Baldwin had two hits and drove in a run, giving him 18 RBIs, and Matt Olson played in the 800th consecutive game, the 11th-longest streak in major league history Robert Suarez (2-0) allowed Otto Lopez's run-scoring single in the eighth. Raisel Iglesias struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 100th save with the Braves, his third this season. Agustn Ramrez hit a sacrifice fly in the first, and Connor Norby and Jakob Marsee hit run-scoring singles in the second around Graham Pauley's RBI double off Reynaldo Lpez, who allowed five hits and three walks in five innings. Atlanta closed to 4-3 in the third on RBI doubles by Baldwin and Olson against Max Meyer, who allowed five hits in five innings. Pauley's double went off the right-field wall, and Ronald Acua Jr. threw to second where shortstop Mauricio Dubn relayed to catcher Drake Baldwin, who tagged out Javier Sanoja.
