00:01Max Freed on the mound for the

00:03home side last assignment was

00:05Saturday at Miami six innings of

00:07work allowed three earned runs on

00:10five hits struck out four and

00:11walked to if you take Freed's

00:14first three starts out of his

00:16mind and I know that's this ifs

00:18and buts being candy and nuts I

00:20get that but if you do it he's

00:22been really impressive this year

00:24Tommy Edmund ready to go to work

00:26for St. Louis tonight Edmund has

00:27a base hit into left field maybe

00:29more Al Monte's got to get there

00:31in a hurry Tommy can run on his

00:32way into second base with a lead

00:34off double to a fine start

00:36tonight here's Dylan Carlson now

00:38hitless yesterday the Cardinals

00:40would really love to translate

00:41that leadoff double into an early

00:43run after being shut out

00:44yesterday jam shot on a fastball

00:47on the ground for Riley and there

00:49is a well earned first out of the

00:52game for Max Freed as Edmund

00:54takes third Paul Goldschmidt is

00:55at 17 opportunities with a

00:57runner at third and less than two

00:59out and he's gotten him in eight

01:00times this year it's a ground

01:03ball for Riley who will concede

01:04the run for the out the RBI to

01:06Goldschmidt it's one nothing St.

01:08Louis so here's Arenado now with

01:10the running and two away and he

01:12chased a breaking ball in the

01:13dirt and that'll do it in the

01:15St. Louis half of the first

01:16Carlos Martinez inherits a one

01:18nothing lead before he even

01:19settles in to begin his night

01:21some nights he'll look like Bob

01:23Gibson and other nights he looks

01:24like another kind of Gibson's I

01:26mean it's it's feast or famine

01:29with Ronald Acuna junior leads

01:30things off for Atlanta and that

01:32one actually got away from him

01:33and hit Acuna hit batsman opens

01:35up the ballgame and that's

01:37something that's happened with

01:38Martinez on the mound more

01:39often than not.

01:42Freddie Freeman on the first pitch

01:44into the opposite field handled at

01:47the wall by Tyler O'Neal Martinez

01:49gets him on a fly ball in his

01:51first try tonight now it's Ozzie

01:53Albies Acuna's running pitch is

01:56taken outside throw to second is

01:58in time to get him and there's the

01:59Hall of Famer at work see him

02:01get out of the chute to hurry

02:03accurate throw and DeYoung with a

02:05nice sweep tag Albies has been

02:07terrific at home as Albies strokes

02:09and that one just inside the line

02:12in left field Ozzie on his way to

02:14second with a two out double 35

02:17extra base hits for Ozzie Albies

02:19here's Abraham Almonte now the

02:213-2 for Martinez and he misses

02:23with a changeup boy he thought he

02:24had him it might come as a bit of a

02:26surprise to learn that Austin

02:27Riley has been as productive as

02:29he's been there's a line shot out

02:31to right field for Austin Riley

02:33Albies scores and just like that

02:36we're back to even as Atlanta has

02:38answered in their half of the first

02:40one and two to Swanson with two

02:41runners aboard to run in and he

02:43gets him on the slider William

02:45Contreras will lead things off for

02:46the Braves bottom of the second

02:47in a 1-1 game first pitch is

02:49sucked to left and deep way back

02:52that ball is out of here William

02:54Contreras has gotten hot with a

02:56first pitch homer against Martinez

02:59to make it two to one Atlanta and

03:01there's ball for two to you who

03:04you runs in the throwdowns not in

03:05time so what an interesting little

03:07battle we've got here between Yachty

03:09Molina and Ron Lacuna Junior they're

03:12now one for one against each other

03:14Freddie's had really good days

03:16against Carlos Martinez in his

03:18career and a base hit for Freeman

03:20Lacuna taking the turn throw to

03:23the plate is cut Freeman safe at

03:26second I think the throw made it

03:28all the way through but that was

03:30Molina who just opted to go right

03:31back to second base instead of

03:33trying for the play of the plate

03:35one step back and make that sweep

03:37tag with a glove and he's got him

03:39out yeah I'm surprised at that so

03:41is Martinez I mean he's pointing

03:43at home plate said why didn't you

03:44do that three to one Atlanta now

03:46Albies who doubled and scored back

03:49in the first

03:49Albies swings and sends the ball to

03:51deep right and that one is gone on

03:55top of the chop wow Ozzie Albies

03:58knew as soon as he made contact

04:01that ball was going to fly and the

04:03Braves already have five runs not

04:05sure how much longer the Cardinals

04:07are going to be able to avoid going

04:08to the bullpen Martinez just has not

04:10been sharp tonight and here come

04:12the Braves once again in the fourth

04:14inning

04:14Ozzie Albies with a fly ball the

04:17other way that drops in boy it is

04:19really Ozzie's night Acuna scores

04:22throw the third is not in time throw

04:24the second is in time to get Albies

04:26what they're looking at is whether or

04:28not Albies was safe at second base

04:30so it's the Braves that actually

04:31called for the appeal balls

04:33overturned all these are safe good

04:36not here running nobody out looks

04:38like Mike Schilt has finally seen

04:39enough Jake Woodford who had been

04:41up a couple of times is ready to go

04:43faces Abraham Almonte runners at

04:45second and third and Almonte shoots

04:48that into left Freeman scores

04:50easily 7-1 Braves runners at the

04:53corners with two runs in nobody out

04:55for Austin Riley sent to drive out

04:57to right Carlson camps under it to

05:01make the catch and it's going to

05:02tag and score Albies with a third

05:06run of the only brave that has not

05:08been on base tonight so far is

05:11pitcher Max Freed trying to

05:13rectify that here with his third

05:14plate appearance ball four lost

05:17him with a bases loaded walk I

05:21think they batted around and

05:22think the next thing coming is the

05:24mercy rule round ball the third

05:26as Arenado takes care of them to

05:28put a merciful end to a very long

05:30inning Max Freed the beneficiary of

05:32all the support the 0 2 home to

05:34O'Neill first of all breaking

05:36goals called for a strike three

05:37boy that is Sam to give a few

05:39calls from St. Louis here's Paul

05:41DeYoung now that ball literally

05:43squirted out of the ball and the

05:45ball and the ball and the ball

05:47and the ball and the ball and the

05:48ball and the ball and the ball

05:49and the ball and the ball and the

05:50fastball and the ball that ball

05:52literally squirted out of

05:53Freed's hands and young can't hold

05:55on Max Freed back to work back

05:58with his 8 run lead in tow he has

06:01been dominant tonight and takes

06:03care of Paul Goldschmidt with a

06:05swing and a miss ball and two

06:06strikes to Nolan Arenado got him

06:09on the gas big time velocity here

06:12in the seventh inning for Max

06:13Freed that's his firm as he's

06:15thrown a fastball all night

06:17there's a breaking ball that

06:18That's a holdoff.

06:19However, they got a man there.

06:21That's Almonte to retire the side.

06:23Seven strong innings from Max Fried.

06:25Well, this might be the final opportunity for Ozzie Albies

06:29in a sixth triple of the year.

06:32If he does cash in on that three-base hit,

06:35it would mean he'd hit for the cycle.

06:37Into right.

06:38Lane Thomas calls everybody off to retire the side.

06:41Nine-to-one advantage.

06:43And that sets up Jacob Webb to try to close down business at home tonight.

06:47And the Cardinals are down to their final out tonight.

06:50Thomas sends a drive out to left.

06:51And that's how the night ends.

06:54Abraham Almonte gathers it in.

06:56And the Braves have made it two in a row to start this four-game.
