The Atlanta Braves defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-5 in the Thursday game highlighted by Mike Yastrzemski’s ninth-inning grand slam. Matt Olson opens the scoring with a first-inning home run while also tying the Braves’ franchise record for consecutive games played. As the game progresses, the Braves maintain a narrow lead, going ahead 6-5 before Yastrzemski comes to bat in the ninth inning. With the score in range, he delivers the decisive blow, hitting a grand slam off Dennis Santana. The homer is Yastrzemski’s third career grand slam, and it extends Atlanta’s lead from 6-5 to a game-sealing advantage that carries through the final score of 10-5. Olson’s early home run and the late surge led by Yastrzemski define the Braves’ offense in a win over Pittsburgh.
