00:31into the shift backhanding at
00:32Bodie on the shortstop side of the
00:33bag goes over to first base and
00:35gets the out and one down.
00:37Last year's MVP in the National
00:39League Freddie Freeman.
00:42Freeman lifts off and that one's
00:45well gone.
00:47Oh my goodness.
00:49Out of the ballpark and into
00:51Wrigleyville and it is one nothing
00:54in favor of the Braves on the homer
00:56by Freddie Freeman.
00:57Goodness gracious that was launched

01:01right field.
01:02And just a perfect swing short tight
01:05to the baseball and just beat him
01:06to the spot had the sound and the
01:08arc.
01:09Ball and a strike to Darno one for
01:11his last 13 at the plate and
01:13Darno swings and sends a ball well
01:15hit to left and that one's gone.
01:18A home run out of Darno and the
01:20Braves who had not homered for 21
01:22innings have now hit two in the top
01:23of the first inning and lead three

01:36Braves.
01:37Ray Adrianza ready to step in hitting
01:39294.
01:413-2 pitch that's swung on and hit high
01:43into the air out towards right field this
01:45might have a shot back of the wall as
01:47Hayward kiss this thing goodbye another
01:49home run for the Braves and it's four
01:51to nothing.
01:52The Braves have hit not one not two but
01:55three bombs here in the first inning.
01:56No definitely didn't get all of it as
01:59this ball's hit very high to straight
02:01right field Hayward goes back and he's
02:03at the wall in plenty of time but the
02:06wind blowing out as we said not blowing
02:08out real hard but definitely helping the
02:11ball carry a little bit and Hayward gets
02:13to the ivy.
02:14Hendricks has been very good for a long
02:16time and what we're seeing tonight not
02:19typically at all what you get out of
02:20Hendricks that one's hit hard out towards
02:21center field this one's got a shot back
02:23there at the wall is Hap he leaps and
02:26this thing is gone four home runs for the
02:29Braves in the first inning and it's 6-0
02:32Atlanta.
02:36First hit for Heredia in a Braves uni and
02:40he goes to straightaway center field we
02:42got ourselves a firework show on the
02:44north side of Chicago.
02:45Four home runs in one long fly ball to
02:48the track.
02:5023 year old right hander Bryce Wilson
02:52who's making his first big league start in
02:54quite a while you got to go back to game
02:56four of last year's NLCS.
02:59Two down for Anthony Rizzo.
03:00Fires.
03:01Rizzo drives one in the air to right field.
03:03It's deep down the line.
03:04Acuna back at the wall.
03:06Gone.
03:08Rizzo with a home run to right and the
03:10Cubs get on the board.
03:11Number two for Anthony and he was choking
03:14up Ron with that two strike approach and he
03:17still hammered one out of here.
03:18Well you just you know you when you're big
03:21and strong is as Anthony is you put the
03:24barrel on the baseball and you can hit it
03:26out of the ballpark.
03:27Watch him pull his hands in right here.
03:29Knee down.
03:31Head down.
03:32A little conference on the mound after the
03:33base on balls and Javi Baez has the
03:35opportunity now for Chicago.
03:39Chopped the third base for Riley who's
03:41up with it.
03:42Throw to first.
03:42Miss handled.
03:43Everybody's safe.
03:44Better than that Bryant comes in to score
03:47and it's a six to two Atlanta lead.
03:50The ball was in the dirt.
03:52Freeman tried to backhand it on the short
03:53hop.
03:54It hit his glove.
03:55He didn't know where it was.
03:56It bounced behind him hustling all the
03:58way from second and scoring is Bryant.
04:01Going to third on the play is Peterson.
04:03Rizzo leads off the Cubs third against
04:05Bryce Wilson and he'll drive one in the
04:08air left center field.
04:09This ball's back toward the wall.
04:11That ball is going to be gone.
04:12Home run Anthony Rizzo his second of the
04:16game and the Cubs take another step
04:19closer.
04:20Now it's six to three.
04:22Can you hear the big fella start heating
04:23up?
04:24You can feel it in yesterday's ball game.
04:27He got three hits in the game and walked
04:29and now today a home run to straight
04:31right and a little backdoor hook.
04:33He hits out of the ballpark to left.
04:36Two balls and no strikes on Freeman.
04:38Pick off again to first base.
04:39Back in with a dive.
04:40Acuna kind of gingerly gets up.
04:42Tries to shake the dirt out of his
04:44belt buckle.
04:47It's like he knocked the wind out of
04:48himself with that dive.
04:50He's taking a minute to get back.
04:52Runners take their leads.
04:53Here comes the 1-0.
04:54A little pop fly shallow right.
04:56Hayward comes in.
04:57Tagging at third is Acuna.
04:59The catch by Jason.
05:00Acuna's going to try to score the throw
05:02to the plate.
05:02Cut off by Rizzo.
05:04They've got Freeman hung up between
05:06second and third.
05:06Baez running him toward Rizzo who will
05:09run Freeman back and now he'll lob it
05:11to Baez and out at second base and that
05:15ends the inning.
05:16The run is in.
05:18But in between innings, Ronald Acuna as he
05:20went sliding across home plate head first.
05:22Very slow to get up.
05:24And Joe, he will not return.
05:25Now it's Ozuna in an RBI spot with a
05:27runner at second and nobody out.
05:29The 2-1 pitch.
05:31Change up.
05:31Broken bat flare to left field.
05:33That's going to get out for a hit.
05:34But Freddie Freeman is around third.
05:36He's going to score.
05:38That'll make it 8-3 on the RBI single.
05:41And a real soft one.
05:42It was nice to see from Marcelo Zuna.
05:45Five-run lead for Atlanta now with
05:47nobody out.
05:47Travis Darno the batter.
05:49He has homered tonight.
05:52That's into the right field corner.
05:54More damage.
05:56Jason Hayward indicating that it bounded
05:58up and perhaps hit a fan.
06:01He gets on it anyway.
06:02As Darno wheels into second and scoring
06:06all the way from first is Ozuna.
06:07We'll take another look at that again.
06:10And the ball was going into the stands
06:11and a Braves fan with bad hands didn't
06:14catch it and knocked it back into the
06:16field of play.
06:17They will take another look at this as
06:19an official review as all boundary calls
06:22are reviewable.
06:23Top of the sixth.
06:24Braves up 9-3.
06:26And the pitch.
06:27Swung on.
06:27Hit in the air.
06:28Left center field.
06:30Back goes Jock Peterson.
06:31And that ball is gone.
06:33Grand slam home run for Guillermo Heredia.
06:37Guillermo Heredia.
06:40With the slam his second homer of the night.
06:4313-3 Atlanta.
06:45On the bad end of a 13-4 game yesterday.
06:4924 hours later it's the Braves flipping the script.
06:54Atlanta took the opener 5-2.
06:56Yesterday the Cubs had a 13-4 victory and tonight same score.
07:03But Atlanta walks away with the win and taking two out of three at Wrigley.
