00:00Welcome back, Ross Stripling.

00:02He last pitched on April the 8th.

00:05That was against the Los Angeles Angels.

00:07He was then put on the injured list on April the 12th

00:10with a right forearm flexor strained.

00:13Ground ball right back to the mound.

00:15Easy inning for Stripling.

00:17Three up, three down.

00:19Six pitches and he has a very quick inning.

00:22Ian Anderson, who's on a great roll in rotation for Atlanta.

00:26Yep.

00:262-0, 2-48 on the year.

00:28You see his numbers in interleague play.

00:30He's been fantastic in three starts.

00:323-0 with a 1-45.

00:34And a swing and a miss.

00:36I'd say it worked pretty well with the first batter.

00:38Spring is retired for out number one.

00:40Yeah, that's about as good as you can do there.

00:42Good pitch there.

00:43Front door slider.

00:45As this ball is whacked in the air towards center field.

00:48And right there is Pache.

00:50And Ian Anderson is able to pitch around Austin Riley's throwing air.

00:54Ozzie Albies will lead off for the Braves,

00:56who went down 1-2-3 in the opening inning.

00:59Ozzie lifts one toward left.

01:01Gurriel going back.

01:02Look at the wind.

01:03Grab a hold of that.

01:04Tie off the wall.

01:06Well played by Gurriel to hold Ozzie to a double.

01:09And look at Stripling.

01:10His hands were pointed to the heavens as if,

01:13Are you kidding me?

01:14Wind blowing out.

01:15Hit it high.

01:16Watch it fly.

01:16Here's Pablo Sandoval, the Braves' designated hitter.

01:20All right, and missed.

01:21The high fastball gets Sandoval.

01:23That's the first strikeout for Stripling.

01:252-2 pitch.

01:27All right, and missed.

01:28Another high fastball.

01:29Does the trip back-to-back strikeouts for Stripling.

01:32This one golf to the left side.

01:35Bichette with a backhand.

01:36Long throw.

01:38And Gurriel leaps high to keep that from going into the camera well.

01:42Austin Riley with an infield hit.

01:43Tough play for Bichette.

01:45And Riley legs it out.

01:47Braves have their second hit of the inning.

01:49And William Contreras, the Braves' young catcher,

01:52bats for the first time in the bigs this year.

01:54Next.

01:55Smoked.

01:56In a left field.

01:57Welcome to the show, William Contreras.

01:59Saddle score, Ozzie Albies.

02:02And a wild throw comes in toward third base.

02:05Contreras with his first at-bat drives home the game's first run.

02:09And Atlanta has action with two outs.

02:11They lead 1-0.

02:12See, I told you he could hit.

02:13Got a hanging, breaking ball, and hammered it.

02:15That should help him relax a little bit.

02:17Not that I don't think he was not relaxed,

02:19but he looks like a pretty cool customer most of the time.

02:22That's a nice, smooth, simple swing, isn't it?

02:24Sure was, yep.

02:25Britchick's been on a tear the last nine games.

02:27He's hitting just shy of .300.

02:31And how about that base hit to start his afternoon?

02:35I tell you what, I love it.

02:36And it's about time.

02:37Hitters taking advantage of the shifts.

02:39And Randall is a very powerful guy,

02:41but he just stroked that ground ball through the hole on the right side.

02:44Danny Jansen will come to the plate with runners at first and second.

02:48There he is, a base hit.

02:50And that's going to make the throw to the plate.

02:52Here comes Britchick around, and he slides in under the tag.

02:56And Danny Jansen ties it up.

02:59He snaps that 0 for 35.

03:01Boy, that'll get the teammates fired up for you.

03:04There's nothing better than that, the snap an 0 for with an RBI hit.

03:08He stayed on that ball.

03:10Here's Marcus Simian.

03:11He flying out to center field, his only time-up.

03:14It's a 1-1 game.

03:15We're in the bottom of the third inning, two outs.

03:19It's going to be a fair ball.

03:21The set will come in to score.

03:23Guerrero's headed for third.

03:24He's getting the wave around third.

03:26The relay throw will not be in time,

03:29as there's no throw to the plate.

03:30Goodmark is a Simeon for that two-RBI double.

03:36For Simeon, that's his first double of the season.

03:39Give him 12 RBIs now, and the Blue Jays have a 3-1 lead.

03:44Well, here's Danny Jansen.

03:46He has snapped that long 0 for him.

03:50Ground ball is going to sneak through for another knock.

03:53Stay hot, Danny.

03:55He's two for two.

03:56Boy, he's going to be walking on air after today's game.

04:01Springer jumps back,

04:02and that ball goes all the way back to the backstop.

04:04It'll be another wild pitch.

04:06Second of the day,

04:07thrown by Ian Anderson as Jansen goes to second.

04:10So here's Beau Bichette.

04:11He's been on base twice so far.

04:13Reached on an air in the first,

04:14had a single, and scored in the third.

04:17It's another one to the gap in right center.

04:20That's going to get down and go up against the wall.

04:22Jansen's in the score.

04:23Bichette's headed for second.

04:25He's waiting to get there with a stand-up RBI medal.

04:28Bobo Shett's swinging it this afternoon.

04:30This is just good hitting.

04:32This is so hard to teach,

04:34to take that ball that's away like that,

04:36and inside out,

04:38and still get solid wood on the ball,

04:41and hit it up the alley in right center field.

04:45I mean, that's just a thing of beauty.

04:48Or he can flat-out hit.

04:50There's no getting around it.

04:51Austin Riley will lead things off

04:54as Stripling is working in the fifth inning.

04:59Rifle to the left side and through.

05:01Riley is two for two today.

05:03So Stripling will have to work out of the stretch,

05:05and Contreras is coming up.

05:06He's got the Braves' RBI.

05:07That's a great at-bat.

05:11So it's set up for Atlanta.

05:12So let's see what Christian can do.

05:14At the very least,

05:14advance the runners for Acuna and Freeman.

05:18Lays down a bunt.

05:19It is perfect.

05:21Bases are loaded for Acuna.

05:23Acuna, the at-one.

05:25It's high fly ball.

05:27Deep center at the wall.

05:29It's caught by Gritchick.

05:31Riley tags up on scores.

05:34Another bullet off the bat of Acuna.

05:37He just missed a grand slam,

05:39and that's going to be the end of the line

05:40for Stripling as the Braves are measuring him up.

05:43That cuts the lead to two.

05:45It's four to two now.

05:46And Contreras had to really fly to get back to second.

05:52He and Acuna thought it was gone.

05:55Ryan Barucki comes into the ballgame

05:56to face Freddie Freeman.

05:58Barucki with an 0-2 count.

06:00Swing and miss.

06:01He strikes out Freeman on three pitches.

06:04Cut out and miss.

06:05What a job by Barucki.

06:06He comes in with two aboard

06:08and strikes out Freddie Freeman

06:10in Marzallo's Senate.

06:12Chapman will take over here.

06:13He pitched in yesterday's ballgame,

06:15and right about the same spot in the lineup.

06:18Down ball.

06:19Luchette has to wait on the big second hop.

06:21Second for one back.

06:22The first double play.

06:25Oh, what a nice double play.

06:26Good turn to second by Simeon.

06:28One-two count on Pache.

06:30Strike three, Carl.

06:32That fastball catches the outside corner.

06:34Another terrific inning for Tyler Chatwood.

06:37David Phelps has been just fine this year.

06:39Look at that.

06:40Earned run average under one in ten games.

06:42He's thrown nine in a third inning.

06:46Yeah, yeah.

06:46Went around.

06:48Another strikeout for David Phelps.

06:50That breaking ball gets the Cunha.

06:53Two-two pitch.

06:54Cut out and miss.

06:55He goes down swinging once again.

06:56That was a terrific changeup from Phelps.

06:59Two away.

07:02Breaking ball.

07:03He swings and misses,

07:04and David Phelps gets three strikeouts in the inning.

07:07Now they're going to try and add on against Sean Newcomb.

07:11How about that at that?

07:13Vando Grichik is rewarded with a sharp single into left field.

07:18On the 13th pitch, on the 12th pitch of the at-bound.

07:24Fly ball to left field.

07:26This ball's going to go.

07:28How about that for a home run?

07:30Marcus Simeon, a two-run home run.

07:34A four-RBI day.

07:35The home run number six for Simeon.

07:38Okay.

07:40Okay, I'll take it.

07:42I said add on a run.

07:44I'll take the two runs right there.

07:47And Gurriel's got himself a base hit.

07:52And he's hustling towards second.

07:54Here's the throw from Pache.

07:56And Gurriel with a nifty slide avoids the tag of Albies.

08:03Jerry Mears, the umpire at second.

08:06And they're going to ask for a review as they will review the tag play.

08:10But Gurriel, boy, what a nifty slide he put on Albies.

08:15And he gets his one into the alley.

08:17And I said that's going to get down and go onto the warning track.

08:20Gurriel comes in to score.

08:22Panic is headed for second.

08:23He'll get in there with a slide.

08:25An RBI double for Joe Panic.

08:28Rafael D'Elise was up in the eighth inning anticipating a possible save situation.

08:33Abuja scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth.

08:34He sat back down and now Payam's has loaded the bases.

08:37And here's D'Elise with two outs.

08:40One and two.

08:43Struck him out.

08:44And the Blue Jays win it.

08:46D'Elise comes in and gets the strikeout.

08:49His third save of the season.

08:52And the Blue Jays indeed sweep the three-game series over Atlanta.
