Gerald Williams led off the 3rd inning with a solo home run against Andy Benes, before Benes retired the next two batters. That&#8217;s when Benes allowed 5 straight base runners, capped by back-to-back two-run hits by Andr\u00e9s Galarraga and Ryan Klesko. Benes left in the 5th inning, allowing 7 runs and 8 hits in 4 2\/3 innings. The Braves scored two more runs off Todd Stottlemyre in the 8th inning. Every Atlanta batter had a hit. Mark Wohlers pitched a perfect 9th to end the game. The series will head to Phoenix, as the DBacks hope to come back and avoid the Loser&#8217;s Bracket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB90s\/Scoresheets\/09-09-2024_ARI_ATL.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'99 Diamondbacks @ '98 Braves - 9\/9\/24\">&#8217;99 Diamondbacks @ &#8217;98 Braves &#8211; 9\/9\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Glavine scattered 8 hits over 8 innings, allowing 2 runs while striking out 3 as the 1998 Atlanta Braves topped the 1999 Arizona Diamondbacks 9-2 to take a 2-0 series lead.
