00:22respect to the legends we lost.

00:25It's Charlie Morton versus Zach

00:27Wheeler a rematch of a terrific

00:28game played up at Citizens Bank

00:30Park in Philadelphia last week.

00:32Charlie threw well up in

00:33Philadelphia I felt like you know

00:35you'd like to see him a little

00:36crisper today maybe get you into

00:37the sixth seventh inning and look

00:39for the whole team is all win the

00:41home opener first time you've had

00:42fans back in with you go win the

00:44opener Hoskins then Harper for

00:47Philly the pitch tipped and caught

00:50by Darnell Hoskins is out on

00:52strikes as is customary Hoskins

00:55complains but apparently that

00:56ball was in the glove not on the

00:58ground two outs and now Hoskins

01:00barking with Carlos Torres the

01:03home pit umpire George Girardi

01:05wants to get some help good

01:08curveball.

01:10Definitely hit the ground you'll

01:12take them when you can get them.

01:13Absolutely.

01:14Standing boo for Bryce Harper who

01:15knew it was coming.

01:16If he strikes him out this place

01:18is going to explode.

01:19Here's the one two on the way.

01:20Right down Broadway at the knees

01:24Charlie Morton back to back

01:26strikeouts and a one two three

01:28start in his old opener for the

01:30Braves.

01:30No score here in the bottom of the

01:32first inning and Wheeler gets to

01:34work.

01:34Zach last year eleven starts has

01:37made one start this season ten

01:39strikeouts and seven innings in

01:40that start against the Braves.

01:41Two runners on with two outs.

01:43They throw back to second base and

01:46they got Freddie Freeman.

01:48Unbelievable pick by JT and throw.

01:52This is this is where his

01:53athleticism is unmatched.

01:56He made an unbelievable play right

01:57here picking it and throwing

02:00behind T-Mac this this catcher is

02:04almost like a shortstop plays

02:05net play behind the plate.

02:08Two balls two strikes it's gotten

02:09the count even again against

02:11Dansby Swanson no score bottom of

02:13the second or no leads off of

02:15first.

02:17At a call strike three right on the

02:19outside part of the plate first

02:21strikeout for Wheeler that was

02:23perfectly placed.

02:24Absolutely could have done nothing

02:26with this pitch at all.

02:27It was perfectly playing in the

02:28outer corner in the bottom part

02:30of the zone.

02:32He threw three straight went back

02:33to the well again and looks like

02:35he's found a pitch that he feels

02:36comfortable with now.

02:38Wheeler nods yes to JT comes set

02:40with the sign and the 0 2 breaking

02:43ball on a cold strike three two

02:46strikeouts of the inning for

02:47Zach Wheeler no runs no hits one

02:50man left pitch all the way to

02:52Gene Segura to ground ball

02:55shortstop this sliding play by

02:57Densby Swanson to his feet not in

02:59time the hustling Gene Segura able

03:02to beat it out for the first hit

03:03of the day for the Phils and he's

03:05been doing this Thompson spring

03:06training I mean he's been busting

03:08it from the from the very

03:10beginning of the games early in

03:12even in February and he got out

03:14of the box really well as one of

03:15those pitches that he had to lean

03:17out to try to to get and he was

03:20on his way running right out of

03:21the chute and really busted it.

03:22Great job easily taken eighth

03:26overall in twenty seventeen out of

03:28the University of Virginia 0 2 pitch

03:30got him swinging three straight

03:33curveballs from Charlie Morton

03:35McCutcheon grounded out his first

03:37time up to go for a little two

03:39out thunder here little looper

03:42out to right field that's going to

03:43drop in for a base hit cigars around

03:46third he's heading home he'll

03:48score it's an RBI single for

03:50McCutcheon and the Phillies are on

03:52top one to nothing.

03:54It's amazing how the little

03:55things do actually count Reese

03:57Hoskins the batter a ball and two

03:59strikes nothing wrong with that

04:00that paints the outside half a

04:02fastball freezes Hoskins and

04:04their strikeout number five for

04:05Morton.

04:06They're pitching carefully to a

04:07Coon used full count and a line

04:09drive over third that's headed for

04:11the left field corner first on his

04:14way to second McCutcheon tries to

04:16dig it out and does and Ronald

04:18Coon you junior has the Braves

04:20first hit at home a ringing double

04:23into the left field corner well

04:26great at bat seven pitches look

04:31at that fastball in the inner

04:32half and you see Ronald pull

04:35those hands and Kevin Seitz

04:37have been saying that's the pitch

04:38he's been working on is pulling

04:40those hands in the inside

04:41fastballs probably if you talk

04:43about Ronald his one weakness

04:45hit a double in Washington on

04:47that same pitch the other day now

04:49double tonight.

04:50Going to the count and he threw

04:53it again and Wheeler knew it

04:54seven strikeouts for Charlie

04:56Morton he'll go to work next in

04:58a one run game.

04:59See if Charlie can get on to lead

05:01off the inning.

05:02Look at Charlie.

05:04Little payback for Wheeler.

05:06I'm not saying a word Tom.

05:08I mean it's just you know.

05:11Sometimes you got to take

05:12batters into your own hands.

05:15Look at that just going the other

05:17way.

05:18No he wasn't late he went with it.

05:20You can't teach him.

05:21You can't.

05:22Pitcher starts the inning with a

05:24hit.

05:25Let's see if that opens the

05:26offensive floodgates for the

05:27Braves.

05:28They're down a run.

05:29Swung on hit high and deep to

05:31center.

05:32Way back.

05:33That ball is gone.

05:36Home run.

05:37Two to one Atlanta.

05:39I've waited 19 months to say it

05:42fellas listen to this crowd.

05:45That ball is absolutely hammered.

05:48just right of Chattahoochee falls

05:50about 15 rows up.

05:53I'm glad you called him.

05:54Let's put in the seats.

05:55I mean you know.

05:57So the talk was a pitcher to get

05:58the running started.

05:59And you're right Chip though.

06:01How great is that with fans

06:02guys.

06:03You didn't see that excitement

06:04last year in the dugout.

06:05After a home run.

06:08I'll tell you what this crowd is

06:09loud man.

06:10Yeah.

06:11Cement mixer slider.

06:15That's usually what.

06:18He knew it too.

06:20God I hope he did.

06:22114 off the bat.

06:23Braves have the lead.

06:24And now Ozzie yanks one down

06:26the line.

06:27Ricochet off the fence.

06:28Here goes Ozzie in a second.

06:30He'll get there ahead of the

06:32throw.

06:33Three straight Atlanta hits in

06:35the inning.

06:36Man look at this ball at the end

06:37guys.

06:38Just hit the edge.

06:39If that doesn't I wanted to

06:40that was.

06:41He was going three.

06:42Ozzie with a good lead at

06:43second.

06:44Two out.

06:450-2 to Darno.

06:46Breaking ball line drive into

06:47left center field.

06:48Here comes Ozzie around third

06:50to score.

06:51Darno got an 0-2 pitch to hit

06:53and he extends the lead.

06:55It's 3-1.

06:56You don't see that happen to

06:58Wheeler too often.

06:59It hasn't happened this year.

07:01Great piece of hitting by

07:02Travis.

07:03So the Braves right hander

07:05Charlie Morton needs to get

07:06Bohm and get out of this

07:07sixth inning.

07:08He drives this one to right.

07:11Acuna back still going.

07:12Reaches it.

07:13And makes the play.

07:15Wow.

07:16Do it all Ronald.

07:17Bohm can't believe it.

07:19Thought he had it over Acuna's

07:20head.

07:21But Ronald tracked it down on the

07:23warning track.

07:24The guy that fits in very well

07:26we're told with the Braves

07:28culture in that locker room.

07:29One ball two strikes.

07:30Swing fly ball.

07:31That's well hit.

07:32Harper back.

07:33Can you believe it.

07:34Another pitch hit.

07:35Homer.

07:36The Braves now lead it 6-1.

07:38I think a big discussion coming

07:39in guys was the power off the

07:40bench or the Braves going to

07:41have any power.

07:42Seven games in you got three

07:43home runs.

07:44Braves had a bench.

07:45One pinch hit Homer last year.

07:46They've got three in the first

07:47week.

07:48Two balls and a strike.

07:49Fly ball well hit.

07:50Harper on the right.

07:51And they've got three home

07:52runs.

07:53The Braves had a bench.

07:54The Braves hit Homer last year.

07:55They've got three in the first

07:56week.

07:57Two balls and a strike.

07:58Fly ball well hit.

08:00Harper on the run.

08:01Not getting mad.

08:02Freddie hits one out.

08:06Well they jumped in.

08:07Yeah.

08:08In a big one.

08:13Into and out of the glove of

08:15that Phillies fan whose dad is

08:17letting him have it.

08:18How can you drop that.

08:19Man.

08:20Oh.

08:21Then he dropped it again.

08:22Oh.

08:23Dad's all over him.

08:24Dad says it's my fault.

08:25He's trying to get the baseball

08:27to watch dad shaking his head

08:28puts the hoodie on.

08:29I don't want to be seen with

08:30this.

08:34Double play ball.

08:35Might end the game.

08:36There's one.

08:37There it is.

08:38Double play.

08:39Bravos win the home opener.

08:41They're five and oh in the

08:43first home game of the season

08:44in the history of Truist Park.

08:47Guys Charlie Morton was

08:49outstanding.

08:50Braves bullpen was great.

08:51And Ronald Acuna won one

08:53word.

08:54Wow.
