In a thrilling comeback, the Atlanta Braves surged past the Tampa Bay Rays, clinching a 5-4 victory thanks to Michael Harris II's dramatic two-run homer in the ninth inning. This win marked the Braves' first road triumph of the season, ending an 0-8 start on the road, tying the franchise record for the worst away start set in 1980. Sean Murphy was instrumental, smacking two homers, including a pivotal solo shot that contributed to the Braves' four homers in the final three innings. The Braves initially trailed 3-1 before Harris, following Nick Allen's leadoff double, delivered the go-ahead blast off Cole Sulser, who suffered the loss.

The game saw a stellar pitching performance from the Rays' Drew Rasmussen, who struck out seven and allowed just four hits over five scoreless innings. However, the game slipped away from them due to costly base running errors, including three outs by Jose Caballero. The Rays' Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda both homered, with Aranda's shot off Raisel Iglesias fueling a late rally that fell short as Christopher Morel flied out to end the game.
