Braves Rally Late, Beat Twins 6-4 in Eighth-Inning Surge

The Atlanta Braves staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Minnesota Twins 6-4 on Friday, extending their winning streak over Minnesota to nine games since 2019. Trailing 4-1 in the eighth inning, Atlanta rallied with a sequence of hits and walks, culminating in Michael Harris II's game-tying two-run single and rookie Drake Baldwin's decisive two-run, pinch-hit single. Braves relievers Enyel De Los Santos and Raisel Iglesias secured the win with strong performances in the final innings. Minnesota starter Chris Paddack delivered a solid outing, but the Twins' bullpen could not hold the lead. The game marked Alex Verdugo's Braves debut, though he went hitless. The teams are set to continue their series with another game on Saturday.
