The Atlanta Braves and Toronto Blue Jays began a three-game series on Monday night in Toronto. 

For the Braves, they got off to a disastrous 0-7 start, although they had to play the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers to begin the season. 

Since then, the Braves have gone 5-4, and they have alternated wins and losses since April 4. 

On Monday, the Braves started the series with an 8-4 win as Grant Holmes threw 7.2 innings and gave up just three runs on two hits. 

Atlanta scored a pair of runs in the first and third innings before putting up four in the fifth. 

During the top of the fifth inning, Braves FanDuel Sports Network reporter Wiley Ballard went viral for an odd reason. 

Ballard was interviewing two fans at the Rogers Centre rooftop. After the interview, Braves broadcaster Brandon Gaudin and C.J. Nitkowski had some fun with Ballard, saying he had five innings to get the number of one of the fans. 

Well, lo and behold, it happened as Lauren gave Ballard his number on live TV. 

It was quite the scene, and Ballard quickly took over social media because of the incident. 

The video above had 354,000 views in just two hours and fans enjoyed every bit of it. 

"The Wiley Ballard game," Braves play-by-play man Brandon Gaudin wrote

"NO WAY Braves reporter Wiley Ballard just got a girls number live during the game lmaoooo This has to be the best moment of a rough Braves season so far lol," one fan said

Ballard also got in on the fun on X. 

"This is most definitely the @wileyballard_ game," Braves 92.9 reporter Grant McAuley said

"Players of the game: 1. Wiley Ballard 2. Grant Holmes 3. Austin Riley," Braves color analyst CJ Nitkowski stated

Another fan even posted a perfect Rory McIlroy video in honor of Ballard. 

It was quite the scene on Monday night at the Rogers Centre, and it will surely be remembered by Ballard (and others) for years to come.
