Wednesday was the best offensive night in Braves history.

The Braves scored a franchise-record 29 runs on 19 hits, obliterating the Marlins 29-9 at Truist Park. They avoided a sweep with the victory.

It was the 20th time an MLB team scored 25 or more runs in a game. It was the fourth time a team scored at least 29 runs, and the first time a National League team did so.
