First Inning
The game began quietly with both teams failing to score in the first inning. The Braves managed one hit but couldn't convert it into runs. Meanwhile, the Reds were unable to get on base during their turn at bat.
Fourth Inning
By the fourth inning, both teams had found their rhythm. The Braves scored their first run thanks to a series of well-timed hits that brought Ozzie Albies home. Albies showcased his consistent performance from previous games with a .667 batting average and two RBIs.
