The 2016 season was the Braves' final season at Turner Field, before moving to their new home at SunTrust Park. The stadium was originally built as a venue for the 1996 Summer Olympics before being converted for use by the Braves for the 1997 season. The team scheduled a number of special events and limited-edition giveaways in honor of its final season at Turner and the players wore a commemorative sleeve patch on their uniforms for the entire season. The patch showed an outline of the stadium with the words "Turner Field; Final Season, 1997–2016".[2][3]

Continued struggles

Fastball command was the most frustrating thing. I don't even know if I've walked in a run before in my professional career. The walks were pretty frustrating. It was a tough one to swallow, but I have another one in five days."[22] Despite a 3–1 lead, the Dodgers scored four unanswered runs to snap the Braves four-game win streak.[23] A Yasmani Grandal double in the 10th inning gave the Dodgers a 2–1 victory in the Braves's fourth extra-inning game of the season.[24]
The Braves opened their next series with a 6–3 loss to the New York Mets.[25] In the second game of the series, the Braves lost 8–2.[26] The Braves ended their three-game series against the Mets with a 3–2 loss.[27]

May
4–10 start

González and Tosca dismissed
On May 17, Fredi González was fired from his position as team manager, as was Carlos Tosca from his position as bench coach.[49] Brian Snitker, manager of Triple-A Gwinnett, was promoted to interim manager of the Atlanta Braves.[50] His debut didn't fare too well as, despite a season-high of nine runs, a seven-run deficit in the first inning proved too much to overcome in a 12–9 loss.[51] Tyler Flowers hitting in three of four plate appearances and Julio Teherán surrendering only five hits gave Snitker his first win as an MLB manager in a 3–1 victory over the Pirates.[52] The Braves closed out this four-game road series with an 8–2 loss.[53] Regular shortstop Erick Aybar was removed from the lineup after undergoing a procedure to remove a dislodged chicken bone.[54]

The Braves opened up their next series with a 5–3 win over the Giants.[65] Wisler put on a solid pitching performance until he allowed three runs in the eighth inning and the Braves fell 4–0.[66]

Turnaround
Despite a scoring opportunity with bases loaded in the eighth inning, the Braves squandered it, gave up a shallow left hit to Joey Votto with bases loaded and lost 9–8 to the Reds.[78] After a rough first inning for Teherán, the Braves only put up a run in a 3–1 loss to the Reds.[79] After failing to score a walk off with bases loaded in the 11th and giving up two runs in the top of the 13th, a single by d'Arnaud allowed Jace Peterson to score the walk off run and gave the Braves a 9–8 victory.[80] During the game, Freeman doubled in the third, tripled in the fourth, hit a home run in the sixth and singled in the 11th to become only the seventh Braves player to hit for the cycle and first to do so since Mark Kotsay in 2008.[81] The Braves concluded the four-game series with two home runs from Freeman in a 7–2 victory over the Reds.[82]

In a makeup game postponed from April 30 due to rain, Markakis hit two home runs – including the game-tying home run in the ninth – and Flowers hit a two-out single in the 11th inning to give the Braves a 4–3 victory over the Cubs.[103]

August

Despite pulling to within a run off a Kemp groundout in the sixth inning, the Nationals went on a five-run tear in the eighth to beat the Braves 8–2 in the first of a four-game series.[139] Despite a three-run rally in the eighth to tie the game, Clint Robinson hit a go-ahead RBI single to left field that handed the Braves their sixth straight loss in a 7–6 defeat.[140] A late rally by the Braves wasn't enough to overcome giving up eight runs in the fourth inning as the Braves lost their seventh straight game in an 11–9 defeat.[141] The Braves concluded the four-game series against the Nationals with a walk-off homer from Peterson in the 10th inning to snap a seven-game losing streak in a 7–6 victory.[142]
Despite two homers from Freeman, Vizcaíno blew a 7–4 lead in the seventh inning and Gant gave up a walk-off homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the ninth as the Braves fell 9–8 in the first of a four-game series against the Diamondbacks.[143] Trailing by a run with three runners on base and two outs in the eighth inning, Kemp hit a base-clearing double to right-field that put the Braves ahead and went on to win 7–4.[144] A four-run rally in the ninth inning tied the game, but a sacrifice fly by former Braves prospect Brandon Drury allowed Jake Lamb to score the winning run in the 11th inning and the Braves fell 10–9.[145] After a stint in AAA, Wisler surrendered only one run and two hits with four strikeouts and three walks as the Braves used the three runs scored in the third inning to split the series with the Diamondbacks in a 3–1 victory.[146]
Despite loading the bases in both the first and second innings, the Braves were unable to score a run and surrendered five runs in those first two innings in a 7–2 loss in the first of three games against the Giants.[147] A three-run homer by Kemp in the fourth inning and one run surrendered in 7 2/3rd innings pitched by Foltynewicz was enough to secure a 3–1 win for the Braves in the second game of the series.[148] The Braves concluded the series by surrendering four homers in a 13–4 loss to the Giants.[149]
In their return to Turner Field on August 30, the Braves put on an offensive showcase with 12 hits and scored on six of those hits to win 7–3 in the first of a three-game series against the Padres.[150] The next day, the Braves continued their high offensive output with 12 hits and eight runs scored, including an Inciarte run scored off a Paul Clemens balk in the first inning, to beat the Padres 8–1 in the second game of the series.[151]
September
The Braves concluded the three-game series against the Padres on September 1 with another high offensive output, that included a Freeman homer that kick-started a five-run rally in the fifth inning, as they earned their first home sweep of the season in a 9–6 victory.[152]
Back on the road in Philadelphia on September 2, the Braves, starting the top of the ninth inning with the game tied 4–4, batted around with hits from Inciarte, Garcia, Freeman, Kemp, Markakis and Freeman a second time to score five runs, and win 9–4 in the first of a three-game series against the Phillies.[153] The next night, two homers from Garcia, a fielders choice grounder from Flowers to drive in the go-ahead run and a ground out from Peterson to bring in another run gave the Braves a 6–4 victory in the second game of the series.[154] In the final game of the three-game series, Teheran gave up only five hits and struck out seven batters in six innings pitched, Kemp hit his 28th homer of the season in the second and Freeman hit his 29th in the eighth, and Johnson earned his 15th save of the season to beat the Phillies 2–0.[155]
In the first game of a three-game series in the nation's capital, a fielder's choice RBI by Peterson and a two-run rally in the ninth wasn't enough to overcome a five-run deficit – a two-run homer by Trea Turner and a three-run homer by Chris Heisey, both in the third inning – and the Braves's six-game win streak was snapped with a 6–4 loss to the Nationals.[156] After Perez gave up a 4–1 lead in the third inning of the second game of the series, which included a Rendon grand slam and a homer from Ryan Zimmerman, the Braves rallied back with RBI's from Dansby Swanson and Joel De La Cruz to tie the game at 6–6.[157] However, the Nationals responded with a three-run eighth inning, which included Michael Taylor scoring on a Flowers throwing error, and a Swanson single RBI in the ninth wasn't enough to prevent a 9–7 loss.[158] In the final game of the series, Chris Withrow blew a two-run lead in the seventh inning and the game eventually went into extra innings.[159] A Peterson RBI single in the 10th put the Braves up a run in the 10th, but Rendon responded with an RBI single to tie the game again.[160] A walk-off single by Wilson Ramos in the 11th secured a 5–4 victory for the Nationals.[161]
The Braves started the first of a three-game series on September 9 with a 4–0 lead, but a six-run unanswered rally – which included a two-run homer by Curtis Granderson – by the Mets beginning in the sixth inning led to a 6–4 defeat for the Braves.[162] In the second game of the series, Kemp tied the game with a homer in the sixth and a walk-off RBI single by Garcia in the 10th gave the Braves a 4–3 victory over the Mets.[163] In the final game of the series, the Braves gave up 10 runs – including a third inning grand slam by Yoenis Céspedes – in a 10–3 loss to the Mets.[164]
In the first of a three-game series against the Marlins on September 12, the Braves put up seven unanswered runs in the first three innings – including a Markakis homer – before giving up seven runs to the Marlins.[165] The Braves responded with five runs to beat the Marlins 12–7.[166] Five runs, including a two-run homer by Freeman and a solo homer by Kemp, were not enough to overcome seven runs by the Marlins in a 7–5 loss in the second game of the series.[167] In the final game of the series, benches cleared after José Ramírez threw a pitch that went behind the head of Marlins pitcher José Fernández.[168] No punches were thrown and Ramírez was ejected from the game.[169] The Marlins went on to win 7–5.[170]
In the first of a three-game series against the Nationals on September 16, Max Scherzer surrendered only two runs in seven innings pitched, the Nationals put up seven runs, including a two-run homer from Turner, and the Braves fell 7–2.[171] Despite surrendering a lead-off homer to Tuner to start the second game of the series, the Braves responded with six runs off nine hits in the fifth inning and beat the Nationals 7–3.[172] In the final game of the series, Wisler surrendered just two runs and Garcia drove in three runs before the game was called in the bottom of the seventh, and the Braves won their first series against the Nationals this season in the final game against the NL East rival for the season.[173]
In the first of a three-game road series against the Mets on September 19, the Braves put up seven runs, including a solo homer by Freeman, and Blair surrendered just two runs off four hits in six innings pitched to earn his first victory of the season in a 7–3 win over the Mets.[174] In the second game, the Braves put up five runs, including a three-run homer in the seventh inning by Garcia, and Johnson earned the save to win series in a 5–4 victory over the Mets.[175] The Mets jumped to a three-run lead in the final game of the series, but the Braves rallied back with four unanswered runs, which included a two-run homer by Anthony Recker in the seventh inning, to take the lead in the top of the ninth.[176] In an almost exact repeat of the night before, Braves closer Johnson faced off against Cespedes with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.[177] Cespedes hit the ball to deep right-center and had the distance for a three-run homer, but center fielder Inciarte raced towards the wall, made the jump and caught the ball above the fence to get the final out for a 4–3 Braves victory in their final game of the season against the Mets.[178]
In the first of a four-game road series against the Marlins on September 22, the Braves put up six runs, including two homers from Kemp totaling three runs, in a 6–3 victory over the Marlins.[179] In the second game of the series, the Braves rallied back from a two-run deficit to score three unanswered runs and beat the Marlins 3–2.[180] In the third inning, Kemp was ejected, and so was manager Snitker, for arguing with the home plate umpire over a 3–1 pitch call.[181] Despite Freeman's adding to his 28-game hit streak with two hits and a homer, the Braves couldn't overcome Blair surrendering six hits, five runs and three walks in 3 1/3 innings pitched, and fell 6–4 for only the second time at Marlins Park in 2016 in the third game of the series.[182] The final game of the series was cancelled following the news that Marlins pitcher José Fernández died in a boating accident earlier that morning.[183] The game was never made up as the season was nearly ending and both teams were out of playoff contention.[184]
In the first of a three-game home series against the Phillies on September 28, the Braves found themselves in a six-run hole, largely due to Teheran surrendering a grand slam homer in the first inning.[185] However, they scored seven unanswered runs and beat the Phillies 7–6.[186] High offensive output defined the second game of the series as the Braves put up 12 runs, nine of which were surrendered by Adam Morgan, in a 12–2 win over the Phillies.[187] With the score tied at one in the bottom of the eighth, Kemp opened the floodgates with an RBI double into right field that allowed Swanson to score and the Braves swept the Phillies 5–2 in the final division series of the season.[188]
In the first game of the final series of the season and final series at Turner Field on September 30, the Braves put up just two runs, via solo homers from Kemp and Brandon Snyder, against six runs by the wild-card hopeful Detroit Tigers, three of which came via two Miguel Cabrera homers, in a 6–2 loss.[189]
October
In the second game of the series against the Tigers on October 1, the Braves damaged the Tigers' wild-card hopes with five runs, including a two-run homer by Freeman and a solo homer by Markakis, in a 5–3 victory.[190] In the final game of the season, and last at Turner Field, the Braves beat the Tigers 1–0 with Freddie Freeman's first-inning sacrifice fly providing the only run of the game to finish the season at 68–93,[191][192] and for the first time all season, the Braves did not have the worst record in the National League.[citation needed] This win eliminated the Tigers from postseason contention.
