00:05one against Pittsburgh but one

00:07really good start one ugly one

00:08as he takes the mound here this

00:10afternoon you see he's not going

00:11to blow them away with velocity

00:12average fastball coming in at

00:14eighty seven miles per hour and

00:16the pitch and he walked up and

00:19keep your eyes on Acuna there

00:21he is already on first base he's

00:22dangerous when he gets on the

00:23base pass out in the field

00:25everything he does so all eyes

00:26on him here's Freeman down

00:30Hits it hard in the ground

00:32Sogard sliding stop flips to

00:34first Freeman attacks early well

00:38positioned I mean Sogard strong to

00:41the full side feel great if you

00:42need me I'm in it's swinging a

00:46little roller along first Davies

00:48will take it himself steps in the

00:50bag and that is the innings Kyle

00:52Wright who gets the surprise

00:54start for the Braves today yeah he

00:55does look they we knew we'd need

00:57depth this year from the start

00:58rotation here's Kyle you see those

01:00numbers last year the last three

01:02starts to me is when you see the K

01:04to base on ball ratio today is a

01:06perfect example

01:07here's a swing and a ball ripped

01:10down towards left center field and

01:11that went a bang up against the

01:13Brits

01:13Happ with a big turn but it's

01:16collected by Ozuna it's a long

01:18loud single for Ian Happ with

01:20Happ aboard here is Contreras

01:23right the three two and that one

01:26hit him so he gets plunked again

01:28three fielders to the right a second

01:30with Peterson up here two on two

01:32out in the air that should be a

01:35can of corn for Ender Enciarte and

01:38Kyle Wright works around two on

01:40nobody out and the Cubs fail to

01:42score again in the first inning from

01:45this side a little bit of power

01:47probably enough to keep him doing

01:49it back to the mound Davies handles

01:53it

01:54and all pieces out

01:56Adrianza waiting and one out man at

01:58first and a two two swing and a miss

02:02and he got him to swing over top the

02:04styrofoam cup again tough guy to

02:06strike out tough guy to fool

02:08popped up right side so guard and by it

02:12this hobby coming in and fix the jump

02:15catch

02:19inside did it hit him yeah it did

02:21Kyle Wright hits Javi Baez

02:24so the leadoff man is aboard and now

02:27it's Jason Hayward Baez at first

02:29nobody out and that one's hit hard and a base hit in the right field

02:33Baez around second on his way to third

02:36throw cut off it's a single for Hayward

02:38back to back innings where the first two guys reach

02:43Cubs in the first two innings have their second scoring opportunity

02:47that one is smoked out towards right center field

02:50Enciarte on the move

02:51Wynn knocking it down he makes the catch

02:53tagging from third is Baez and the Cubs are on the board

02:58it is 1-0 as Sogard delivers the run

03:02the 1-1 hit on the ground up the middle

03:05sliding stance so cost the first in time

03:09he stole a hit from the pitcher

03:12bidding for his first career hit

03:14and Eric Sogard with a nice rangy play

03:17Sogard having himself a nice day

03:18couple really good plays in the field

03:20and an RBI thus far

03:24here's a changeup down low to Freddie Freeman

03:26and he draws the walk two down

03:28Marcel Ozuna comes up

03:31there's a rifle shot into left center field

03:33that's down for a hit Peterson will cut it off

03:36Freddie will stop at second and the Braves have a two out rally

03:39so let's see how the Braves fare with a runner in scoring position

03:42it's a two out situation for Darno

03:45no balls and a strike

03:48and a shot toward left Peterson plays it on a short hop

03:51can't get the ball out of his glove and Freeman will score standing up

03:55thank you very much Jack Peterson

03:58fumbled and left Darno with a base hit

04:01Atlanta cashes in a walk and we're tied at a run apiece

04:04look to be like the short hops what got Peterson not just the bobble

04:07well that's a tough play

04:08I mean he's coming in to catch that ball

04:09and at the last second you realize I'm not going to

04:12and does a good job of just keeping it in front of you

04:18one hit softly to third Brian charges

04:20bare hands slangs

04:21nice play both ends of it

04:26Brian able to grab it Rizzo able to pick it

04:30yeah swinging but there you couldn't have rolled it out there any better than Swanson did

04:34but Brian got a real nice break on this ball you'll see it here from this angle

04:38gets on in a hurry and with Rizzo over there generally it's somewhere in the area code and he's going to pick it

04:44two on pitch that's lofted out towards left and that's in for an opposite field base hit

04:49nice two out single out of Ender

04:51Riz making some racket now with two down just like they did in the third inning

04:54said they can turn it into a run but

04:56you run into Kyle Wright now

04:58the pitch

04:59is hit hard

05:00that's a fair ball down the left field line

05:02Ender around second on his way to third

05:04Peterson got it bobbles it again

05:06and Ender will stop at third as Kyle Wright

05:09has a two out double and did Ender hurt himself he might have I guess Ender

05:15tweaked something going from second to third otherwise you'd think he might have had a chance to score on that play

05:20so Heredia is at third right at second his first major league hit

05:24and a great chance with two outs for the Braves to take the lead here

05:27Ronald has walked and popped out

05:29payoff

05:30line drive in a right field a base hit that wasn't a strike

05:34but that's going to score

05:35Heredia that's going to score

05:37right and Ronald Acuna Jr.

05:39with two outs has given the Braves a three to one lead

05:43he reached out and smoked that ball into right field

05:46Freddie with such a quick bat looking at a one one count

05:49here it is from Davies

05:51Chopper over the mound going hard to his right

05:54gloving and throwing now Sogar that's not in time over at first base

05:58the inning continues Freddie Freeman hustling down the line

06:01Acuna's at second Freddie's at first and Ozuna's coming up

06:05that ball is hit hard to short again a stumble by Baez

06:09and a throw to the plate

06:11he's going to be dropped and safe

06:14Acuna came flying around third

06:17Baez stunned that he was trying to score on the play

06:21threw the ball low to Contreras who couldn't hang on

06:24Ronald didn't touch the plate on the first go by

06:26but as the ball trickled away went back and stepped on the dish

06:30and Atlanta has a fourth run

06:32and back-to-back walks put runners first and second with one out

06:35and Guillermo Heredia will be the batter

06:38Adam ready and deals runners go

06:40and the pitch is in the third

06:42got him strike him out throw him out

06:45so the Braves get aggressive

06:47Wilson Contreras and Jason Adam make him pay

06:51and it'll be Contreras third time around

06:55the Cubs can inflict a little damage here

06:57in the air towering fly ball left field

07:02I mean an absolute blast from Contreras

07:12that was as high as it was for his third of the year

07:16and the Cubs went into its court to the little third time around magic for you

07:22Contreras the strikeout throwout double play and then the big bat shows up

07:27one ball one strike

07:32Ozzie serves that ball into left center field

07:34that's going to get down for a hit

07:36Peterson bottles that

07:38helmet off Ozzie he stands at second

07:40what Peterson's been an adventure defensively heavy

07:42good swing by Ozzie

07:44taking it the other way

07:45a double and a walk and Adrianza is the hitter

07:48first and third against Maples the pitch

07:51is in the air towards center it's shallow

07:54and Jack Peterson comes on takes a look at the baseball

07:57and Ozzie's going to streak home and score standing up

08:00so Adrianza puts it in play does what he's supposed to do

08:03Atlanta gets a sacrifice fly

08:05and Atlanta adds to the lead 5-2

08:08Freeman waits for brothers the 2-1

08:10Freeman rips that left center field towards the gap

08:14Peterson

08:15Jack lays out steals extra bases

08:18from Freddie Freeman

08:20what a play by Jack Peterson

08:23Rex brothers loves it

08:26ball and two strikes

08:27ball from around the way

08:28blow it in and believe it caught it

08:29and that sends him down to the ground

08:31and there is no padding on the kneecap

08:33he can't continue

08:34George Poulos waved off

08:36Ozzie Albies

08:37that's one of the toughest guys in the game

08:39when he leaves you know he's smart and hopefully

08:41that won't swell up on Ozzie Albies

08:43so Bryant will come to the dish with two on

08:47and two outs bottom of the ninth

08:49nine five two Braves lefty sets and deals

08:54and it's ball four they're loaded up

08:58so here's the situation Jack Peterson

09:01yep was hoping for you he wants to face left handers

09:04he wants to be an everyday guy

09:06tying runs on base winning run at the plate

09:10another two two swing and a miss it all

09:14started with a fastball

09:15Will Smith got ahead with two strikes

09:18then finished him with the slider

09:20and the Braves finish off the Cubs Jeff
