00:00Bass it's his first start this

00:02year his first start in fact

00:04since 2012 when he was pitching

00:06for the San Diego Padres all

00:08the work out of the bullpen

00:09this year.

00:10So Freddie Freeman is the

00:11Atlanta hitter.

00:13Freddie Freeman unloads on the

00:14very first pitch and cracks that

00:16to deep right center and it's

00:18gone one nothing Atlanta.

00:21Freddie loves hitting down in

00:22Miami and I said no surprises

00:24you see that chip he's seen that

00:26pitch before he jumped all over

00:29hanging slider his eighteenth

00:33home run brave strike first in

00:35the first and Don Mattingly looks

00:38on as his club has a bullpen game

00:41on its hands and their bullpen

00:43has given up the game's first

00:45run.

00:45I mean that's where you want that

00:46pitch a little bit down you see

00:49where he gets that full extension

00:52when you get the lick of the lips

00:54from Freddie you know it's gone

00:55even hit a get me over fly ball.

00:57He was ready for it wasn't he?

00:59Yes.

01:00Let's see if Charlie Morton Jeff

01:01can finish his first half with a

01:03bang.

01:03Yeah.

01:04See that good start to the season

01:06for Charlie this first half and

01:07you'd love to see him get that

01:09eight to win.

01:09Marte six home runs and 18 RBI's

01:12this year.

01:15Well there's a good curveball birdie

01:17was talking about in the pregame.

01:19you see that just he can turn it into

01:22two or three different ones and you

01:23see this one starts right over the

01:25middle of the plate and then just

01:27slowly dies.

01:28It's so tough and that's the thing

01:30he can throw another curveball to

01:32Marte next time up and it'd be a

01:33completely different pitch.

01:35So two up two down here's Jesus

01:37Aguilar.

01:38One two pitch on the way line in the

01:40air to deep right field going back

01:42to Cunha at the warning track

01:43squares up and makes the catch as he

01:45backpedals to the base of the wall.

01:47So down they go one two three in

01:49the bottom of the first inning a

01:50really good start for Charlie

01:51Morton and the Braves one nothing

01:53Atlanta.

01:53First opportunity for the Braves

01:55with a runner at second or third

01:56base tonight.

01:57It comes with two outs in the top of

01:59the third.

02:00Again the runners lead Freeman and

02:02Albies the pitch missed inside

02:04bases are loaded.

02:05So Riley works his way back from a

02:07two strike count and Abraham

02:08Almonte is coming up.

02:10A couple of grand slams for Almonte

02:12who awaits a 1-0 pitch and it's

02:14popped up right side.

02:16Aguilar.

02:17Jazz Chisholm is under it.

02:18He catches the pop out and the Braves

02:21leave him loaded in the top of the

02:22third inning.

02:23So Moramondo finds a way out.

02:25No runs one hit no errors in three

02:27left.

02:27Braves have stranded four through two

02:29and a half innings.

02:301-0 Atlanta as we start the fourth

02:32inning.

02:32Dansby Swanson will lead things off

02:34against Sean Moramondo.

02:36They shift against Swanson only

02:37Aguilar on the right side and the 0-2

02:39is taken for strike three called.

02:40He's caught looking for the first

02:42out here in the fourth.

02:43And Moramondo gets him on the

02:46fastball in the inside corner.

02:47That is now his sixth strikeout on

02:50his fourth strikeout actually on the

02:53night and doing a really nice job

02:54mixing his pitches and keeping

02:56these Braves hitters off balance.

02:57Kevin Smith to the plate.

02:59Strikeout victim his first time.

03:01On 2-1 Smith hot smash to short.

03:03Nicely gloved though by Miguel Rojas

03:05across the first and it's a 1-2-3

03:07fourth inning.

03:08Nicely done Sean Moramondo.

03:10So he's pitched three scoreless.

03:12So Sean Moramondo is a pitch away

03:14from escaping another mess here.

03:16He stranded a runner in the second

03:18inning.

03:18He left the bases loaded in the

03:19third.

03:20Worked 1-2-3 fourth.

03:21Now two Braves aboard with two

03:23outs in the fifth inning.

03:24Riley walked his last time up.

03:26That was against Moramondo.

03:27Struck out in the first.

03:28That was against Anthony Bass.

03:30Two balls two strikes two outs

03:32and two Braves on.

03:33Called strike three on the outside

03:38corner and Moramondo strands a

03:41pair in the fifth.

03:42Charlie Morton protects a 1-0

03:44lead.

03:45One two count and a swing and a

03:48miss.

03:48Back to back strikeouts for

03:49Charlie.

03:50That's four in the game.

03:51Had a good start to the Miami

03:54fifth inning.

03:55And 1-0 here in inning number 5.

03:57Bring up the number 8 hitter Joe

03:59Panik.

04:00Struck him out looking inside

04:02corner.

04:03Beautiful pitch.

04:04Front door two seamer.

04:05Man, you saw Panik.

04:06Couldn't even pull the trigger on

04:07that pitch.

04:08Raimondo got a good sacrifice

04:09down.

04:10He has only played appearance.

04:11One ball and no strikes and the

04:12fastball is chopped on one bounce

04:14right back to Charlie.

04:15Morton's throw to first in plenty

04:16of time and it's a 3-up 3-down

04:17for Charlie Morton who has now

04:18retired five in a row.

04:19And at the end of five complete in

04:20Miami, it's the first in plenty of

04:21time and it's a 3-up 3-down for

04:22Charlie Morton who has now retired

04:23five in a row.

04:24It's the Braves one and the

04:25Marlins nothing.

04:26So this will be a fun matchup.

04:27Acuna versus Bender.

04:29Ronald won for three tonight.

04:31And Acuna got hit with a breaking

04:33ball.

04:35And he takes a couple of steps out

04:37toward the mound.

04:38That was a breaking ball.

04:40I know Ronald's tired of being

04:42hit by the Marlins.

04:43But the last thing Bender wants

04:45to do is hit him in a 1-0 game.

04:47And again, Jeff, this was a

04:48breaking ball.

04:49Yeah, I think that's why you're

04:50seeing snittany wide.

04:51Look, you've got a young player.

04:52He's, you know, look, he's

04:53emotional.

04:54He's animated.

04:55That's what makes Ronald so good

04:56when he plays.

04:57But yeah, I mean, this was an

04:58off-speed pitch.

04:59And hopefully EY's telling him,

05:00if anything, get to first, steal

05:01second, steal third.

05:02Get him back that way.

05:03Now Ozzie back hitting left-handed.

05:04Braves looking for their first

05:05hit.

05:06The runner in scoring position.

05:07Serve toward left.

05:08That's going to get down and go

05:10to the wall.

05:11It's 2-0 Atlanta.

05:12Ozzie on his way to second.

05:13He'll pull up there.

05:14And at last, the Braves break

05:15through.

05:16Revenge is sweet for Ronald Acuna,

05:17Jr.

05:18He scores the second run.

05:19It's 2-0.

05:20Well, look at Ozzie's chip

05:21taking a page out of Freddie

05:22Freeman's book.

05:23Knowing the ball's running away,

05:24I'm going to see it deeper.

05:25He scores the second run.

05:26It's 2-0.

05:27Well, look at Ozzie's chip

05:28taking a page out of Freddie

05:29Freeman's book.

05:30Knowing the ball's running away.

05:31I'm going to see it deep in the

05:32zone.

05:33And look at him.

05:34Just a nice, easy swing down the

05:35left field line.

05:36Gets a double.

05:37And as I said, this is the best

05:38revenge.

05:39You add that all-important run.

05:40This is what the Braves have

05:41had trouble doing.

05:42Tackin' on runs.

05:43You got your pitcher out there

05:44dealing right now.

05:45You need nine more outs.

05:46And now you give him a little

05:47bit of breathing room.

05:48And looking for another big

05:49one.

05:50Here's Austin Riley.

05:51And looking for another big

05:52one.

05:53Here's Austin Riley.

05:54And Riley towards third.

05:55That's a fair ball and down the

05:56line.

05:57It's 3-0.

05:58All the bounces and breaks

05:59starting to go Atlanta's way.

06:00And Riley's thinking about

06:01three.

06:02He's on his way.

06:03He's going to belly flop in

06:04with a triple.

06:05What do they say about

06:06awakening a sleeping giant?

06:07Perhaps that's exactly what

06:08that hit by pitch is done.

06:09Yeah, you see that two-seamer.

06:10And he's able to keep this

06:11ball in.

06:12You need nine more outs.

06:13You need nine more outs.

06:14And now you give him a

06:15little bit of breathing room.

06:16And looking for another big

06:17one.

06:18Here's Austin Riley.

06:19And Riley.

06:20And Riley.

06:21And Riley.

06:22You see that two-seamer.

06:23And he's able to keep this

06:24ball just fair down the line.

06:25And then you can tell how far

06:27they were playing him in the

06:28gap.

06:29The fact that Austin was able

06:30to turn that into a triple.

06:31And as we said, the tack on

06:32runs, Chip.

06:33That's something the Braves have

06:35not been great at this year

06:36that they were last year.

06:37So, 42 RBIs for Riley.

06:40That's his first triple.

06:41Well, the Braves send six men

06:43to the plate.

06:44They pick up two runs.

06:45And the Braves leading the

06:46Marlins.

06:47Three-nothing in the bottom of

06:48the seventh.

06:49Big pitch coming up right

06:50here.

06:513-2 on the way.

06:53Swung on and missed.

06:54Strike three.

06:55Fastball right on by the

06:57swinging bat of Jesus Sanchez.

07:00Came through at 96 miles an

07:02hour.

07:03Charlie just reared back and

07:04let it rip.

07:05And that's his seventh

07:06strikeout.

07:07So, two men out.

07:08Here's Arcia.

07:10That's crack to left.

07:11And he will pick him up.

07:13An ambush job.

07:14Swanson strolls home.

07:16It's four to nothing.

07:18Bookend doubles for the

07:19Braves bats in the eighth

07:20inning.

07:21And those add-on runs, man,

07:22are they a long time in

07:24coming.

07:25Well, Arcia's an aggressive

07:26hitter.

07:27Okert kind of just threw a

07:28little get-me-over slider.

07:30And he puts a great swing on

07:32it.

07:33And that has been wearing out

07:34that left field corner.

07:35It's an easy score for

07:36Swanson.

07:37Dansby had that double in the

07:38eighth inning.

07:39Love to see him get one more

07:40base hit right here.

07:41Driving that run.

07:42Rares back and fires.

07:43And it swung on and hit in

07:44the air to right field toward

07:45the line.

07:46Laying out for a great catch

07:47as Duvall.

07:48Or did he short hop it?

07:50Austin isn't sure he went

07:52ahead and scored.

07:54And apparently it is a base

07:56hit for Dansby Swanson and

07:57RBI and a 5-0 lead now for

07:59the Braves.

08:00Well, it's Jesse Chavez coming

08:02on to pitch the bottom of the

08:03ninth inning.

08:04Braves trying to shut out

08:05Miami.

08:06It's 5-0.

08:08And the 2-2 pitch on the way.

08:10Swung on.

08:11Missed.

08:12He struck him out.

08:13What a perfect punctuation

08:14for a great pitching staff

08:15performance today from the

08:16Atlanta Braves.

08:17Charlie Morton.

08:18Seven innings of two hit

08:19shutout baseball.

08:20Luke Jackson a scoreless

08:21eighth.

08:22Jesse Chavez a scoreless ninth

08:24inning finishing with a

08:25punch out.
