The Boston Red Sox lost another heartbreaker on Wednesday, dropping the second game of their two-game set against the Atlanta Braves, 5-3, at Truist Park.

Boston fell to 11-20 on the season while Atlanta improved to 15-17.

ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
The direction of an MLB baseball game can change in one pitch. That was the case on Wednesday, when Kevin Plawecki was called out on a pitch that missed the strike zone by a fairly large margin. If called correctly, that same pitch would have resulted in ball four, and a walked-in run for Boston. Instead, the inning ended, keeping the game tied at 3-3 into the ninth where Braves DH Orlando Arcia ended the night in walk-off fashion.

STARS OF THE GAME
— Trevor Story got the proverbial monkey off of his back on Wednesday. The Red Sox second baseman connected on his first home run with the club, sending a hanging breaking ball 422-feet over the centerfield wall.

— Matt Strahm continued his streak of strong outings on Wednesday, retiring three Atlanta batters on just 10 pitches for his fifth straight scoreless appearance.

— Orlando Arcia had himself quite the day for Atlanta, going 3-for-4 with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth.

WAGER WATCH
The Red Sox opened up the scoring with Trevor Story’s second-inning home run on Wednesday. Prior to first pitch, DraftKings Sportsbook had Story’s odds at +450 to hit one out. A $100 bet on Story would have paid out $450.
