    People like to say the Atlanta Braves live and die by the home run.

    Jason Heyward says that's not always the case, and he offered Saturday's eighth inning as proof.

    "We did a good job getting pitches to hit. We had some sac flies, we had some guys running the bases well, we had some guys drawing some walks," Heyward said. "When you're able to do things like that and put it all together, you have a lot of opportunities to win the game."

    Heyward hit a tying RBI double and Andrelton Simmons scored the go-ahead run on the same play in a seven-run eighth inning that gave the Braves an 11-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
