The Braves' season ends with a loss in Game 2 to the Padres

Still, the Braves set the ultimate goal of winning the World Series and failed to achieve it.

The Padres scored all five runs in the second inning against Max Fried. In that frame, Fried allowed six consecutive two-out hits. With the bases loaded, Manny Machado smoked a two-run double. Then Jackson Merrill hit a two-run triple.

Suddenly the Braves were four runs behind.

In the first inning, the Braves put Fried ahead before he even took the mound when Michael Harris II, who led off the game with a double, scored on Marcell Ozuna's sacrifice fly. But the Padres stormed back.

The score was 1-0, Braves. It quickly became 5-1, Padres.

In the eighth inning, Harris made it a one-run game with a monster two-run shot to center field. The Braves had life and still had six outs to play with.

But they had no final push. And their season was over.
