ATLANTA -- Seven years have passed since Ender Inciarte went into the record books as the first player to do a bunch of things at SunTrust (now Truist) Park.

As you prepare for tonight’s home opener against the D-backs, here are some memories from each of the previous home openers held at SunTrust/Truist Park.

2017: Braves 5, Padres 2
The Braves went to New York, Pittsburgh and Miami before coming home to open their new ballpark against the Padres on April 14. Julio Teheran fittingly threw the first pitch. This wasn’t Opening Day, but it was certainly a momentous opener, and well, Teheran was the man for openers. Inciarte tallied the first Braves hit -- a leadoff infield single --- and scored when Nick Markakis followed a Freddie Freeman double with one of his own. Jim Johnson notched the save when Inciarte caught the game-ending fly ball in center.

2018: Braves 8, Phillies 5
Former Phillies manager Gabe Kapler provided the gift that keeps on giving when he pulled Aaron Nola after just 68 pitches on this day. The decision to have Hoby Milner face Freeman proved destructive, as Freeman greeted the lefty with a two-run homer to cut Philly’s lead to 5-2. A three-run eighth set the stage for Nick Markakis to hit what remains the only Opening Day walk-off homer in Atlanta's history. It’s actually the only recorded Opening Day walk-off homer in franchise history. Baseball-Reference’s data tracks walk-offs back to 1969.

2019: Braves 8, Cubs 0
After getting swept in Philadelphia to open the season, the Braves welcomed Brian McCann back to their lineup for the first time since 2013. The beloved catcher celebrated his homecoming by capping a four-run first inning with a single. Inciarte celebrated this beginning with a leadoff homer. Ronald Acuña Jr. also began his march toward his first 40-homer season with a third-inning solo shot.

2020: Braves 7, Rays 4
This was the first home game played during the COVID-shortened season. But seeing that there were no fans in attendance wasn’t the only oddity of this box score. The Braves’ eighth hitter was Austin Riley, who was still a year away from beginning his current streak of three straight 30-homer seasons. The pitching matchup could have been billed as the past vs. the future. But we didn’t know that the Rays’ Charlie Morton would actually become the Braves’ future and we didn’t know Michael Soroka was going to become part of the Braves’ past. Soroka allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings. This would be his last “healthy” start for the Braves. He suffered his first right Achilles tear while pitching against the Mets in his next start.

2021: Braves 8, Phillies 1
Morton signed with the Braves during the offseason and drew the honor of being the starter for the home opener. He allowed one run over six innings and benefited from Acuña’s two-run homer off Zack Wheeler in the fifth. Ehire Adrianza hit a three-run homer in the sixth to help the Braves cruise toward their fifth straight win a home opener.

2022: Reds 6, Braves 3
Call it a World Series hangover. Playing their first game since winning it all on Nov. 2, the Braves bid adieu to their home opener winning streak. Acuña was a few weeks away from returning from his ACL tear and Eddie Rosario was a few weeks away from learning the remedy for early-season struggles was vision surgery. Spencer Strider was a couple months from becoming the game’s most dominant starter. This 100-win team started slow and managed to beat the Mets in one of the most thrilling division races the game has seen. It was only fitting for the home opener to finally be a dud.

2023: Braves 7, Padres 6
For the second time in six years, Braves fans got to celebrate a home opener with a walk-off victory. It looked like this game might head to extra innings. But Rosario doubled with two outs and nobody on in the ninth. Orlando Arcia followed with a walk-off single. Arcia also homered off Blake Snell in the third. The shortstop had to win a starting job in Spring Training, but by July he was the National League’s starting shortstop at the All-Star Game.
