0:01
Penny making his 19th start of the
0:02
season. Look, we know the struggles that
0:04
he has had as of late. Last three
0:06
starts. Got an erra north of 15. Time to
0:10
flip the script here for the veteran
0:11
right-hander. We just showed you the
0:13
lineup, the puzzle pieces today with
0:14
Austin Riley going on the IIL. That
0:16
means Ronald Kun Jr. is going to bat
0:18
third. Georgian Profar is going to lead
0:20
off. So, we'll see how that puzzle kind
0:22
of works.
0:22
And a popup that's out to second.
0:24
Donovan's got all the room in the world.
0:27
And Fetty jams the Braves leadoff hitter
0:29
to get things started. Here's Matt Olsen
0:31
and he swings the first one and drives
0:33
it toward right center. Scott on the run
0:36
and a step onto the track. So Fetty two
0:38
out, seven pitches.
0:40
And for the first time in his career,
0:42
Ronald Akuna Jr. steps in as the
0:44
three-hole hitter here in the first
0:45
inning. And he socks one high in the air
0:48
deep to left. That ball is into the
0:52
Braves bullpen. Ronald Akuna Jr. gives
0:55
the Braves a one- nothing lead. A
0:57
towering blast.
0:58
I guess he likes the three hole.
1:00
We found out two things in this series.
1:02
One, Shawn Murphy can DH. Two, Ronald
1:05
Akuno Jr. can bat third. First time ever
1:07
in his career. A non-issue. Nothing is
1:10
different. Another bomb and a big one
1:12
against the sweeper that did not sweep
1:15
very much at all. Right in the middle of
1:16
the plate. A high one, but plenty of
1:18
distance there into the Braves bullpen.
1:21
Here's Shawn Murphy. Now Shawn Murphy
1:23
cracks one to right. Park's going to
1:25
hold this one though.
1:26
But the Braves pick up an early run. A
1:28
home run by Ronald Akuna. Aaron Bummer.
1:30
His second career start after making his
1:32
first last Sunday.
1:33
He was great. First two innings were
1:35
really solid. Land ran into a little bit
1:37
of trouble in that third.
1:38
But try and beauty. Bunner will throw
1:42
that one short at first. So Donovan
1:45
takes what the defense gives him. He's
1:46
got a punt single.
1:48
One- nothing Braves. There's Mason Win.
1:50
1-1 as a curve ball lifted to deep
1:52
center but Michael Harris has got it.
1:54
Here's Contraras. He's heating up
1:56
and he laces one to Allen.
1:59
Throw back over to first. Good read by
2:01
Donovan. Two down.
2:02
So here's Berles. Alec had two hits in
2:04
an RBI last night. Riding a four game
2:06
hit streak
2:07
and the two is raked that way. Coming
2:09
on. He makes a catch just above his
2:11
shoelaces.
2:12
And that ends the bottom of the first
2:14
inning. We go to the top of the second.
2:15
One- nothing Braves. Here comes Marcelo
2:18
Zuna, the former Cardinal. and he leads
2:19
it off for the Braves in the top of the
2:21
second.
2:21
Marcel Ozuna slugs one deep to left.
2:24
That ball is carried and it's out of
2:26
here. An obliteration from Marcel Ozuna,
2:30
his 13th homer of the season. And a
2:32
couple of solo shots for the Braves this
2:34
afternoon. It appears that the power
2:36
stroke is starting to come back now for
2:38
Marcel who was dealing with that hip
2:40
issue. We saw him go to the opposite
2:42
field against the A's on this road trip.
2:44
And now to the pull side here. That is
2:46
his third career home run in 16 at bats
2:49
versus Fetty. And he eats his lunch once
2:52
again.
2:52
And Aussie Alb's on the first pitch and
2:54
he pulls one through the right side for
2:56
a base hit. So far the Braves are
2:57
hacking. Four of the first six hitters
2:59
have swung at the first pitch.
3:01
Nacho Alvarez climbing in
3:02
and off goes Aussie and Alvarez shoots
3:05
it through the right side beautifully.
3:06
Runners in the corners for Atlanta.
3:08
And here comes Michael Harris
3:09
and he grounds one past Contras. Donovan
3:13
throws to Fetty covering it first. They
3:14
get the out, but Aussie Alb comes in to
3:17
score. Good job by Michael.
3:18
Productive outs. We talk about those at
3:20
bats. Runner at third, less than two
3:22
outs. You've got to find a way to get
3:23
him in. And while Michael is searching
3:25
for some hits, he'll take that. That is
3:27
a big positive.
3:28
And Joel Poso will lead off the Cardinal
3:31
catcher. There's a shot by Po that's
3:34
headed for the left field wall.
3:36
It's going to be a leadoff double for
3:38
Joel Poso. Good start to the bottom of
3:41
the second.
3:41
Nitbar does the job. He moves Po up with
3:44
a ground ball to Matt Olsen
3:46
now facing Thomas Saji shot to right
3:48
field. It won't matter a base hit. So
3:51
Saji with a big run scoring hit his 10th
3:54
RBI and the Cardinals come right back.
3:56
It's a 3-1 game. Well SJC again doing a
4:00
fantastic job of utilizing the whole
4:02
field. Wanted it in. Ended up middle.
4:04
Hands inside the baseball and just pass
4:06
the gold glover to drive in the first of
4:08
the game for the Cardinals.
4:10
That brings up Nolan Gorman hitting
4:11
eighth. He's hit seven homers since June
4:14
1st. That one driven high toward right.
4:16
Auna back. Gorman has just tied this
4:19
game. Chip left on left right here.
4:23
Gorman does it again. Sinker in. Opens
4:27
up and drives this thing over the
4:30
bullpen for his ninth of the season.
4:32
What a shot there by Gorman. Akuna knew
4:35
it was gone. And that gives the
4:37
Cardinals and Eric Fetty new life. It's
4:39
a three-3 game. That ball exploded off
4:42
Gorman's back. Whose bullpen's going to
4:44
crack first here in game two. We're tied
4:46
3-3 after five innings. So it's up to Po
4:49
to keep the sixth inning alive for St.
4:51
Louis. He doubled and scored his first
4:53
time up. Highf fly ball deep. Po has
4:57
left the ballpark.
4:59
A two out solo homer. So the first
5:02
bullpen to crack is Atlanta tip. Joel Po
5:06
keeps coming up with huge huge moments.
5:10
this one here to give the Cardinals the
5:13
lead in the sixth inning. 46 ft shot.
5:17
Second homer of the day for the
5:19
Cardinals. Gorman a two-run shot. Poso
5:21
with a go-ahead homer and the Cardinals
5:24
now up four to three.
5:25
Nolan Gorman the batter
5:27
as that one bunted. It was a slider
5:29
throw to first is going to be not in
5:32
time. That is only the eighth hit Lee
5:35
has given up on the slider. It was a
5:37
bunch from Gorman who's had the long and
5:40
short of it at the plate on a two-hit
5:42
day.
5:43
Let's see what Victor Scott can do in
5:44
this situation.
5:45
Back to the mound. Lee strong throw.
5:48
So Nolan Gorman finds himself in scoring
5:50
position. A good bunt by Victor Scott.
5:53
And now it's Donovan's turn with a
5:54
runner at second. Two out line to the
5:56
right center field. That's a base hit.
5:59
Here comes Gorman. Donovan does it
6:01
again. A two-run lead. But what a job
6:05
here by Donovan. You know that Lee likes
6:07
that slider a lot. Good chance you're
6:09
going to get one with two strikes. He
6:11
gets it. It's down. It's away. And he's
6:13
able to go down and get it. And let's
6:16
give part of that RBI to Victor Scott
6:18
whose butt advanced. Gorman into scoring
6:20
position.
6:21
Mason win on the afternoon. 0 for three
6:24
so far.
6:24
That one got away from Murphy and
6:26
Donovan was scampered to second. Well,
6:28
this is perfect. Right base hit brings
6:30
in another run right now with this one.
6:33
Griner right to Allen. He's got it chest
6:35
high.
6:36
And that ends the bottom of the seventh.
6:37
Phil Mai will come on to pitch the
6:40
eighth inning. He's only allowed one run
6:42
in his last five outings.
6:43
This might be the Braves best crack at
6:45
it. Trailing by two runs. Here's Jerken
6:47
Proar.
6:48
Two-2 is club down the right field line.
6:50
That is a fair ball and on two hops it
6:52
kicks off the wall. Proar a leadoff
6:55
double here in the eighth. Will bring
6:56
the tying run to the plate. And Monton
6:58
gets his first man and Proofar is still
7:00
at second base with Ronald Akuna Jr.
7:02
coming to the plate.
7:03
Here's your ball game right here.
7:04
Oh boy. He has homered. There's the
7:06
curve ball and well good poise by Ronald
7:08
Akuna Jr. That was an emotional at bat
7:10
at the start.
7:11
Ball six. Take your back.
7:12
Yeah, no kidding. So the tying runs are
7:14
aboard now and Shawn Murphy 0 for three
7:17
today but two home runs last night. And
7:19
Murf socks one high in the air deep left
7:22
field. That ball is carried and it is
7:25
off the top of the wall and that is a
7:28
home run. Shawn Murphy gives the Braves
7:31
the lead. He creams one to left field
7:33
and the Braves take a 65 lead in the
7:36
eighth as Shawn Murphy gives the Braves
7:39
a power surge here in the eighth. What a
7:42
huge homer by Murphy. And what a streak
7:45
he's been on.
7:46
Seven home runs the last nine start for
7:49
Shawn Murphy. Three in this series. The
7:52
first home run given up by Maton. Murf
7:55
blasts this thing and puts the Braves in
7:57
front.
7:58
So, Alec Berles at the plate. He is 0
8:01
for three today, but he could run into
8:02
one potentially. And there's walk number
8:05
22 allowed by Hernandez. That represents
8:07
the tying run. Two outs. Firm mean is
8:10
next. Three 0 pitch. And that missed.
8:14
So, first and second. And here's Saji.
8:17
All four. What a trip to the plate by
8:19
Saji. The Cardinals load him up with
8:22
three walks. And Gorman's had a good
8:24
day. He's homered. He's got a bunt
8:26
single and he's scored twice. Now he
8:28
gets away. That's going to tie the game
8:31
on a ball in the dirt. How about that?
8:33
Dell Hernandez who's been having a
8:36
fantastic season. You see the stuff, but
8:38
he has lost all command here in the
8:41
eighth inning. We walks in the inning.
8:43
The wild pitch brings him around. So a
8:46
two- two count. A hit gives you a
8:48
two-run lead here. But it's not to be as
8:51
Gorman's down on strikes.
8:53
Helley will be facing 789 for the Braves
8:55
here in the ninth inning.
8:56
Ground ball yanked through the left side
8:58
for a base hit. Nacho Alvarez couple of
9:01
hits today. Austin Riley likes it. So
9:03
leadoff man aboard for Atlanta. The one
9:05
to Michael Harris. He squares, drops it
9:07
down first base side. Helley looks to
9:10
apply the tag. He does. And the
9:12
sacrifice bunt from Michael Harris puts
9:14
the go-ahead run into scoring position.
9:16
And now a great opportunity, not
9:18
surprised at all to see Drake Baldwin
9:20
coming off the bench with this very
9:21
important runner in scoring position.
9:23
And Drake Baldwin sprays into left field
9:26
and Freddy Gonzalez throws up the stop
9:27
sign on Alvarez. And Juren Proar who
9:30
began the three-run eighth inning rally
9:32
with a leadoff double has a chance to
9:34
give the Braves the lead back. Ground
9:35
ball right side. This is going to get
9:37
the run home. Proofar is retired, but
9:40
the Braves have the lead. Excellent work
9:42
by Jurgen Proar. And kind of surprising,
9:44
how about this inning? Two 02
9:47
opportunities for Helley. And he gives
9:49
the Braves pitches that they can handle.
9:51
And Jurgson does his job right there
9:52
with that ground ball to the right side.
9:54
And Rice Glacius takes over on the
9:56
mound.
9:57
And this will be the third straight day
9:58
for Rice Glacius. He has been throwing
10:00
the ball very well. But we know this can
10:02
be a tall task. What he has done so well
10:05
in his last couple, like he always does
10:07
when he's right, he's been efficient.
10:08
Swing it away. A ground ball. Putt it
10:10
out to Azie.
10:13
One away.
10:14
One out for Brendan Donovan who's two
10:16
for three.
10:17
One, two. He got him. Bryce Elacius
10:20
brings the noise past Donovan and
10:22
there's two down. Iggy takes care of him
10:24
on four pitches. Beautifully done here.
10:26
Elevated fast ball at 95. One more out
10:29
to get. Mason win is 0 for four. Ground
10:32
ball chopper left side. It's going to be
10:34
Williams. He makes the play and the
10:36
Braves win it in dramatic fashion there
10:39
on the left side of the infield. And
10:41
Atlanta bucking the trend. That is
10:43
back-to- backerun
10:45
victories.
10:46
Statement wins I think for this team
10:48
because the one-run games had been an
10:50
issue. And how nice is it to have this
10:52
version of Riceell Glaciius back? He has
10:54
been locked in. We saw a lot of clutch
10:56
hitting today. Shawn Murphy at it again
10:59
in a huge spot here in St. Doors.
