Roy Halladay allowed eight runs for the fifth time in his career. First since May 5, 2007. 


1998, 2003, 2008, 2012: the years in which Halladay has allowed a grand slam, one in each.

Halladay gives up 8 runs; his ERA is still only 3.40.

Last time Halladay's team allowed 13 in a game he started, he faced a lineup with Albert Belle, Delino Deshields and Cal Ripken.

Halladay had allowed nine runs in his last six starts COMBINED to Atlanta.


This was the Braves' 4th win since 1918 when allowing 13+ runs, and the 2nd in the last 60 years.


AJ Burnett is the first NL pitcher to allow 12+ ER in less than 3IP since Hal Kelleher, PHI, 5/5/1938.


In the last 10 years, 4 40+ year olds have hit walkoff homers. Two of them were tonight.
