22 hits were not quite enough

The Braves lost to the Astros 12-11 in 14 innings at home despite picking up 22 hits in the game. The starting nine for the Braves all had hits, including pitcher Jo Jo Reyes. The Astros used 21 players and the Braves used 22. The winning run for the Astros scored on a pinch single by Jason Jennings.

The Braves were the 13th team in the last 50 years to get at least 22 hits and lose the game. All the games went extra innings. Back on May 17, 1979, the Cubs had 26 hits in a 10-inning, 23-22 loss to the Phillies.

The highest scoring extra inning game for the Braves was played on April 19, 1900 when they lost to the Phillies 19-17 in 10 innings despite making up a 17-8 deficit in the ninth.
