July 4: Down 7-3 entering the ninth, the Braves rally to force extras, then win it in the most unlikely way: with the bench empty, pitcher Max Fried steps in and lines a walk-off single to beat Miami 8-7 in 10 innings.

August 6: The night the season turns. Atlanta climbs above .500 for the first time all year, riding a three-run rally sparked by a catcher's interference call and three RBIs from Adam Duvall to an 8-4 win over Washington.

August 11: Joey Votto homers twice, the second off Will Smith to force extra innings. Ozzie Albies answers in the 11th with a 412-foot walk-off three-run shot, an 8-6 win that pulls the Braves into a tie for first in the NL East.
August 15: Dansby Swanson homers for a third straight game, Freddie Freeman and Austin Riley go back-to-back, and the Braves complete a sweep at Nationals Park 6-5 to take sole possession of first place for the first time all season.
