In a game played on July 8, 2016, the Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs 4-3. Atlanta's victory came courtesy of a two-out single in the eleventh inning hit by Tyler Flowers. The Braves were able to reach extra innings thanks in part to Nick Markakis, who hit two home runs during the contest, including a solo shot in the ninth inning that tied the score. This loss added to the slumping performance of the Chicago team.
