I've had a busy week so I'm just now getting around to updating the latest series I played
The Braves lose a series against the San Diego Padres
Game 1: L
Not much going for the Braves in this one until the 6th when Eddie Rosario hit an RBI allowing Swanson to score a run. It didn't take the Padres long to tie it back up when Mazara homered to center 413 feet. In the 8th, the Padres would add to their score with Grisham hitting a triple and allowing Hosmer to score. Then, in the next AB Voit would hit a grounder allowing Grisham to score. Padres 3 Braves 1. Luke Jackson takes the loss
Game 2: L
Chadwick Tromp is added to the lineup for the first time in a few weeks and proves himself by hitting a home run in the 3rd. However, the Padres would take the lead in the 4th when Mazara doubled allowing Machado to score and then Lamet would hit an RBI single allowing Mazara to score. The Braves tied it back up in the 6th when Oslon would homer to right 369 feet. Will Myers took care of that 2-2 score in the 8th when he hit a grand slam allowing Tatis Jr., Voit, and Machado to score. In the bottom of the 8th Gonzalez would partially bring the Braves back by hitting a 3RBI double allowing Ozuna, Albies, and Swanson to score. This made the score 6-5, Padres. The Padres would extend that lead in the 9th, Tatis Jr. hits an RBI double allowing Cronenworth to score. Machado then hits a home run allowing Voit to score. Final Score, Padres 9 Braves 5
Game 3: W
Maybe my favorite game so far this year. First of all, William Woods would make his MLB debut, taking place of Kyle Mueller who's out with a hand injury. The Braves want to avoid a sweep and Woods is doing a great job of keeping the Padres at bay. No score until the 5th when Acuna would hit an RBI single allowing Arcia to score. In the next AB, Olson hit a 2 RBI double allowing Swanson and Acuna to score, Braves 3-0. In the 6th, Cronenworth would close the gap hitting a solo home run. Braves 3 Padres 1. In the bottom of the 6th, Duvall would hit an RBI single allowing Rosario to score. Braves 4, Padres 1. Top of the 7th, Carlson hits a 2 run HR 401 feet allowing Mazara to score. Braves 4, Padres 3.
9th inning, 4-3, The Padres score 3 runs on 3 RBIs. Tatis Jr. line to the left for a single. Hosmer scores. Grisham advances to 3rd. Voit lined to right for a single. Grisham scores. Tatis Jr. advances to 3rd. Profar sacrificed to Arcia. Tatis Jr. Scores. Crushing to the Braves to lead the whole game to lose the lead in the 9th, Padres 6 Braves 4.
Then, bottom of the 9th, Acuna steps out to immediately hit a home run 387 feet to make the score 6-5. Olson, in the next AB, gets on first as a result of an error. Next AB, Riley walked. Rosario strikes out. 1 out Riley on first, Olson on 2nd. Duvall is walked. 1 out, Olson on 3rd, Riley on 2nd, Duvall on 1st. d'Arnaud walked. Olson scores. That makes the game 6-6. Alex Dickerson would pinch hit for Matzek. He hits a walk off RBI single allowing Riley to score and for the Braves to take the game 7-6 and avoid the sweep. Sean Newcomb picks up the win. William Woods would have an impressive debut and Acuna would be player of the game going 3 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 runs.
Not sure when I'll update again. I'll be busy with some stuff over the next few weeks but I could update as early as Monday as I'm off that day and might get in a game or so. Braves still 1st in NL East (26-14)
