00:01Bryce Wilson spot start for him.

00:03He's got the ball tonight in game one.

00:05Yeah you see his last five starts mixed bag.

00:08You see those walks eight walks 15 K's were good.

00:12And strike three came back to get him at 93 miles an hour.

00:16So a nice comeback good start one up one down.

00:19Good fastballs tailing up.

00:20I think Marcus thought it was going to be a little bit higher than it was and it stayed it's playing.

00:24One two pitch.

00:25Swing and a miss chased a high fastball and Bichette goes down on strikes.

00:29That's his forty first of the year.

00:32Two up two down for Bryce Wilson.

00:34You can't ask him to get to a better start.

00:36Got the fastball at the top of the zone to get Simeon looking and then climb the ladder on Bichette.

00:43Strike three called.

00:44He struck out the side to start the game.

00:47Now the last time Robbie Ray faced Atlanta he had a great fastball working.

00:51We mentioned he threw 68 percent fastballs against the Braves and he didn't give up a run.

00:56First pitch swing a base hit by Acuna at ninety six miles an hour.

01:02And way not to strike out against Robbie Ray is don't let him get two strikes.

01:06So if he has the green light three and oh that one might have grazed him on the way by.

01:11Freeman's aboard one two fastball down the middle for strike three called and a big first out here for Robbie Ray.

01:19Pitch is golfed in the left field of base here.

01:22Here comes Acuna around third.

01:24Ozzie Albies with a two strike hit puts Atlanta in front.

01:28And Ray can't believe he got the barrel to that ball.

01:32He drove it right past Biggio and Bichette and the leadoff man comes home for a first inning Atlanta lead.

01:38They finally see Ozzie get going from the right side.

01:44To me the pitcher did a chip.

01:46He laid off that ninety five up.

01:48So you see there he gets a slider three two.

01:51And the fastballs popped up again very shallow right center field again the same trio of fielders.

01:58This time to Oscar Hernandez will make the catch.

02:01And the Braves make Ray work very hard.

02:03They get one run off of Ronald Acuna Junior leads off the third.

02:07He has singled and scored tonight.

02:09And Ray brings it.

02:11Swing and a rocket rope toward left center field.

02:14That ball is gone.

02:16A line drive home run for Acuna.

02:20You talk about hitting a ball under radar.

02:22That's exactly what Acuna did there.

02:24If it didn't go over the wall Jeff it might have gone through the wall.

02:29That was an absolute rocket.

02:32That was the whole thing.

02:33You saw Ronald running as hard as he was out of the box.

02:36Chip.

02:37He didn't think it was going to be high enough.

02:39Fastball a little bit up.

02:40Look how easy it is to the zone.

02:43Look at this.

02:44Yeah.

02:45That makes a great catch.

02:46Bryce Wilson mixing pitches very well tonight.

02:50The reward guys in the fifth.

02:52No run so far.

02:53Well he's in the fifth now with Biggio Gurriel and McGuire coming up.

02:57One pitch ground ball to second.

02:58Piece of cake for Ozzie Albies.

03:01Biggio out quickly.

03:02One out.

03:03Well you want to know how to get another start up here.

03:05Do this.

03:06Yeah.

03:08Jammed him.

03:10Dansby's got that.

03:11And a low throw dug out by Freddie Freeman.

03:14That was a good play.

03:16And Reese McGuire is coming up.

03:19And that ball is pulled to first easy flip to Wilson covering.

03:24And that is a fast one two three fifth halfway through in Atlanta.

03:29To the bottom of the fifth inning the Braves leading the Blue Jays two to nothing.

03:33And Christian Apache the center fielder were leaded off for Atlanta struck out in his first at bat.

03:38And Pache on the ground.

03:41Long throw from Biggio skips it off the grass and Guerrero with the stretch.

03:46Beautiful play at the corners by Toronto.

03:50Biggio had to get rid of it in a big hurry and Pache could not outrun the baseball.

03:55The 0 2.

03:56Swing and a miss Robbie Ray made short work of him.

03:59Strikeout number seven for the Blue Jays pitcher.

04:02One two on the way.

04:04Swing and a miss.

04:05He got him with a slider down.

04:07And Ray retires Acuna.

04:09Bryce Wilson's dealing.

04:10He just threw seven pitches in the fifth inning.

04:13And he is back to work in the sixth inning.

04:15And he has the luxury Jeff of starting with the opposing pitcher Robbie Ray.

04:19Pitches pulled toward the pitcher.

04:21And Bryce has that.

04:23Ray runs halfway down the line.

04:24Turns left.

04:25And there's the first out in the sixth inning.

04:28Guerrero with a fly ball.

04:30Well hit right field.

04:32And it's gone.

04:34An opposite field two run homer for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

04:39And just like that this game is tied.

04:43Boy he is something else.

04:44And when he starts going back in that direction that's where he got so hot early in the season.

04:50Center field right center.

04:51He hit this one a long way.

04:53And it was fitting they went right over Acuna's head in right field.

04:56The pitch.

04:57He did just that.

04:59Bryce Wilson picks up his fifth strikeout of the game.

05:03Toronto ties it.

05:042-2.

05:05Bottom six.

05:06Robbie Ray's been good tonight.

05:07First inning was a little bumpy.

05:09Gave up a run.

05:10Then Acuna hit a solo home run off him in the third.

05:12But Ray has only walked one.

05:14He has struck out eight.

05:15He's only allowed two runs back out there for the bottom of the sixth inning.

05:18Ray pulled a string last time.

05:19Let's see what he does here.

05:20Fly ball.

05:21That's well hit.

05:22That's going to make him comfortable.

05:24That ball is gone.

05:25Ozuna on an 0-2 pitch.

05:28Takes the selfie.

05:29And the Braves are back in front.

05:31If two out runs are gold.

05:34Two strike hits have to be platinum.

05:36And boy did Ozuna need that Jeff.

05:38Just his third hit against a left handed pitcher all year.

05:43That's definitely not where you want your 0-2 pitch.

05:46Robbie was in a nice little zone there too.

05:48That's going to be one he's going to want back.

05:50We go to the eighth inning.

05:51A.J. Minter on to pitch for the Braves.

05:53He's only given up one run in his last nine appearances.

05:571-1.

05:58Swung on.

05:59Hit to right field.

06:00Hit pretty well.

06:02And over the head of a leaping Acuna Davis on his way into second base.

06:07And the Blue Jays have the tying run and scoring position with nobody out here in the eighth.

06:14Nope.

06:15He is swinging and he lines the ball to left and it's down for a base hit.

06:19Davis had to wait to see if it would get out to Ozuna so he can't score.

06:24But the Blue Jays have the bases loaded with nobody out for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

06:32First pitch swinging and a base hit into left field.

06:36Davis in to score.

06:37Simeon will stop at third because the ball was hit so hard.

06:41But Vlade with an RBI single and the Blue Jays have tied it.

06:45And Vlade not wasting any time.

06:47Gets a first pitch cutter.

06:49Gets the head out and pulls it sharply into left field.

06:53And Jonathan Davis just jogging in.

06:56One two and a weak ground ball to Freeman.

06:59Thought about home.

07:00Nobody's at first.

07:01And everybody's safe.

07:04And the Blue Jays take the lead.

07:06Well I tell you what defense is a lot more than airs.

07:10It's about missed plays.

07:11And the Braves have had two missed opportunities in this game that have allowed in this inning that have allowed the Blue Jays to score.

07:193-0 on the way.

07:20And it's high ball four to force in another run.

07:245-3 Blue Jays.

07:25Boy the Blue Jays have had some inning here.

07:28The two run lead for the Jays and Jordan Romano is into the game.

07:31Yeah the bullpen has been terrific in this ball game.

07:34Trent Thornton, Tyler Chadwood and now Jordan Romano.

07:374-5-6 here.

07:39Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley, Dansby Swanson.

07:433-2.

07:44Slider there for strike three call.

07:48Boy what a good pitch.

07:49And you can see the difference in velocity in that slider.

07:52It was 87 miles an hour.

07:54The last thing Ozzie Albies expected was a breaking ball.

07:582-2.

07:59Ground ball to third.

08:00Biggio to second one.

08:02And that's all they'll get.

08:04The 2-1 fastball.

08:06In the air to left field.

08:09Teoscar Hernandez is there.

08:11And the Blue Jays will hang on to win it.
