Freddie Freeman, Travis d’Arnaud, Ehire Adrianza and Guillermo Heredia all homered for the Braves during the first inning against the Cubs. This marked the ninth time the Braves have hit four homers in any inning and just the second time they did so in the first inning.

The only previous time they homered four times in the opening inning was during a 15-3 win over the Reds on May 28, 2003. Rafael Furcal, Mark DeRosa, Gary Sheffield hit back-to-back-to-back homers to begin the half-inning and Javy Lopez tallied the fourth home run with two outs.
