The Braves played a wonderfully weird baseball video game on Saturday evening. It was wonderful since despite a home run from Bryce Harper that may not have landed yet and a strong start from the Phillies Zack Wheeler, the Braves had the ability to keep things close thanks partly to a two-run homer from Austin Riley and then walked things off in the bottom of the ninth to win 6-5.
The Braves were behind the majority of the evening, however that does not appear to phase this group much. After Rileys 2 run homer to get within a couple of runs, the Braves were able to score 3 more in the 8th to snag the lead.
Luckily it didnt matter because even though Brandon Workman is a brand-new face in the Phillies bullpen, the pester that has actually besieged them still applies to him. The Braves almost got a walkoff present from the umpires when a regular displace was called safe at the plate, however that got figured out by the umps. Adam Duvall made certain to end things properly with a walk-off single to push the Braves record to 16-11.
That is when things got weird. Mark Melancon had an experience of an inning when he came on for the save which included Snitker inexplicably leaving him in a bases loaded situation versus Bryse Harper when it was clear that he didnt have it last night. Harper got the fly ball the Phillies required and, despite a fantastic toss from Cristian Pache, the Phils connected the game.
