Dominant Starting Pitching in the Sweep of Miami

755 Forever

The Braves took all three games in Atlanta against the last place Marlins as they have the best record in baseball. David & Eric begin by joking about the spoiled fans who were aggravated at the bullpen faltering in the top of the 9th in a game that ultimately ended in a 4-3 victory in extras on Wednesday evening.

(04:30) Max Fried threw a complete game shutout in the 5-0 triumph on Tuesday night. It was a "Maddux" as it took him less than 100 pitches to go the distance in a contest took less than two hours.

(09:00) Reynaldo Lopez had another superb outing as he only allowed one run in 7 IP in the series finale. His ERA this season is 0.72 in four starts thus far.

(12:00) The series opener was a 3-0 victory where Bryce Elder was unscathed in his first MLB start of the season.

(19:00) The Braves are 5-1 on the home stand and they have won nine of their past 10 games. The 'pen has returned to the high level it was pitching at prior to the Mets series loss a few weeks ago. A.J. Minter had a very clutch outing as he threw a scoreless top of the 10th despite giving up a hit and inheriting a ghost runner. Michael Harris II capped off the sweep with a walk-off double that brought in Ronald Acuña Jr. Harris was moved up in the order after the injury to Ozzie Albies.

(29:00) Next up is a three game series at Truist Park vs. Cleveland who surprisingly has best record in the American League. The hosts note though that the bulk of their victories so far have come against the Athletics and the White Sox.

(42:00) David shares a pair quotation from veterans this home stand that encapsulate the excellent and fun culture that surrounds the winning club.
