Braves late-inning collapse against Giants brings back memories of Brooks Conrad
Brooks Conrad is out of professional baseball, and the San Francisco Giants aren’t in the midst of a title hunt, but on Tuesday evening, the Atlanta Braves’ defense did its best Conrad impression to help the Giants score a come-from-behind win. Back in 2010, it was Conrad, a fill-in second baseman, who made a trio of errors in Game 3 of the NLDS that helped the Giants capture a narrow 3-2 victory over Atlanta. That win helped Bruce Bochy’s ballclub take control of the series en route to the franchise’s first World Series title in the San Francisco era, so understandably, Tuesday’s victory didn’t take on the same type of historical significance.
