The Atlanta Braves got another pitching-dominant victory today, but not necessarily from who we were expecting
The Atlanta Braves rallied late to take down the Oakland Athletics 3-1 to officially win the weekend series in Truist Park.Charlie Morton had his stuff
The veteran came into today’s start fresh off of his worst outing since 2015 - eight runs allowed on twelve hits in just 5.2 innings against the Washington Nationals to open this homestand.Uncle Charlie went six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, a third-inning single to shortstop Max Schuemann.
Morton’s curveball, as usual, was excellent - thrown 41% of the time today, it accounted for eleven of his fifteen whiffs, with five of his six strikeouts coming on the pitch. The Braves mustered only seven hits today, but they made them count. The Braves got a first-inning lead after Matt Olson singled in Marcell Ozuna, who walked and then advanced to second on a passed ball. After the Atlanta bullpen gave up a game-tying homer in the 7th, a walk and back-to-back doubles retook the lead for the Braves, with an insurance run being scored by pinch-runner J.P. Martínez in the 8th.
Atlanta may have finished with only seven hits , but four of them were doubles and they picked up a two-out RBI.With today’s victory, the Braves have finished a stretch of seventeen games in seventeen days and have tomorrow off.
