He smashed a two-run shot into the trees in center field to give the Braves a 5-1 lead. This was the third straight game in which the Braves had a gamer struck multiple home runs in a game.
Washington again went down silently in the top of the 6th, but the Braves chose that had a bit of sound left to make. A.J. Minter worked the top of the seventh inning, and in perfect fashion, retired Turner to end the video game.
Another great video game for the Braves. Atlanta continues to shine, and ideally can sweep this everyday duo of video games to enter the vacation weekend with a six video game winning streak.
After a walk to Acuna Jr. in the bottom of the 3rd, Dansby Swanson chose to sign up with the long ball parade as he connected for a two-run crowning achievement, his sixth of the year. Marcell Ozuna reached base with a single of his own, but was hung on base. Completion outcome for Atlanta was a three run lead after 3 innings.
Another excellent video game for the Braves. Acuna Jr. reveals simply how much better this lineup is with him at the top, while the rest of the order continued their excellent efforts. While far from stellar, Milone did his job, which has significant worth today, specifically when supported with all zeros from the Braves relievers. Atlanta continues to shine, and ideally can sweep this daily duo of games to enter the vacation weekend with a 6 game winning streak.
He has played in 291 profession video games.
While I have actually not looked at a statistical comparison, I feel it is not much of a stretch to state that Austin Voth and Gerrit Cole do not have much in typical in terms of their pitching profiles. I can validate that they do have one thing in typical when it comes to their particular 2020 game logs.
Milone encountered a little trouble in the 4th as he navigated the Nationals purchase a 2nd time. A lead-off triple by Asdrubal Cabrera was almost followed up with a two-run crowning achievement off the bat of Yan Gomes. Adam Duvall made probably the protective play of the year for the Braves and limited the Nationals to only one run. Milone would then end the inning to keep the lead at 3-1 heading into the bottom of the 4th inning.
Both Cole and Voth have actually permitted crowning achievement to Ronald Acuna Jr. to lead off a game after he had actually missed out on time due to injury this season. In addition, this time, Acuna Jr. continued the streak of historic long balls for the Braves, based on Sarah Langs, he tied Felipe Alou for the most lead-off house runs by a Brave in franchise history.
This was the 3rd straight game in which the Braves had a player struck several house runs in a game. A.J. Minter worked the top of the seventh inning, and in ideal fashion, retired Turner to end the video game.
Over 4 innings, he permitted six hits, one run, and three strikeouts. In a 7 inning game, that is certainly appropriate, and a good bounce back performance from his Braves debut.
Before Acuna Jr.s blast, Tommy Milone worked around a Trea Turner single (his millionth career hit versus Atlanta), stolen base, and advance to 3rd thanks to a great play by Adeiny Hechavarria to hold the Nationals scoreless. Both the Nationals and the Braves went down without a scoring hazard in the 2nd, however 2 singles from Victor Robles and Turner enabled the Nationals to have their second scoring possibility of the afternoon. Milone was able to retire Howie Kendrick with a double play to end the top of the third.
In a 7 inning video game, that is definitely appropriate, and a nice bounce back efficiency from his Braves launching.
Ronald Acuña Jr. just hit his 17th career leadoff house run.
That ties Felipe Alou for the majority of in Braves franchise history.
