By Thomas Carannante
We have FREE BASEBALL on Sunday night as ESPN will be holding off SportsCenter for a bit longer. The Atlanta Braves, who were down 3-0 heading into the final frame, staged a comeback and tied to the game force extras against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Freddie Freeman led off the inning with a double and Josh Donaldson quickly singled him in. After a Nick Markakis walk, Austin Riley came through with an RBI single to bring Donaldson home and move Markakis to third. Then Ozzie Albies ripped an RBI single to bring in the third run, but he was out advancing.
The Cards managed to get two more outs and escape the jam, but now the Braves fully have the momentum.
