00:48Braves we just told you about
00:49the ten strikeouts and that's
00:51how this one begins with a
00:55strikeout of Ozzie Albies pretty
00:58well executed ninety seven miles
01:03per hour.
01:05Now that's moving around on a
01:06Friday night and a very impressive
01:09one two three Charlie Morton and

02:38cutting this ball off but an easy
02:39first to third for OCD's Escobar
02:41same beds and Bell hits it well the
02:47other way Escobar back to tag he

03:13and a third innings against the
03:14Atlanta Braves Josiah Gray struck
03:16out thirteen of them in six and a
03:19third good way to start your
03:24career and then he freezes Duvall
03:26how about this six up six down
03:29two strikeouts in each inning so
03:32far and a two run lead with which
03:35to work with two from Charlie

03:40side to his left hands we
03:41Swanson picks 360 spin and a bullet
03:44out of pretty Freeman to retire
03:46OCD's Escobar that's a beautiful
03:48play by Dan B Swanson out of short
03:50one two three inning and now the
03:52young left hander Garcia gets a
03:54chance to add on and it's smacked

04:00hit here comes the runner around
04:01third Bell is chugging the throw
04:03to the plate is on the money and
04:05Bell never got to the dish another
