Completing a three-game sweep of the St Louis Cardinals on August 6 2021 the Atlanta Braves earned an 8 to 4 victory. Atlanta secured the win with a decisive six-run rally in the eighth inning. The Braves' offense in the eighth featured Austin Riley who homered earlier in the contest and was highlighted by Ehire Adrianza driving in the go-ahead run via the first of four straight bases-loaded walks contributing significantly to the late surge.
