00:01The most important story tonight
00:02Jeff is how will Tukey Toussaint
00:04handle his assignment in game two
00:06coming off a short outing against
00:08Colorado at Coors Field.
00:09So here's Josh Bell pick your
00:11poison here left handed batter the
00:13switch hitter to 61 this side of
00:15the plate that ball ripped Freeman
00:22Nats will get a run with Thomas
00:24coming home so when he runs in the
00:26first to be unearned because of
00:28the error and Josh Bell gets
00:30RBI number 77 lots of traffic and
00:34more here in the first inning and
00:36Keeboom hits one high in the air
00:37toward left that's going to be
00:39playable for Rosario at the edge of
00:41the track and that will retire the
00:43side at thirty one years old six
00:45four to fifty last start September
00:47third against guess who the Mets
00:50one on one out now and behind
00:52Freeman and Solaire does not
00:55advance.
00:59well I think we know what that was
01:00all about.
01:02Lance Park still looked into the
01:04Washington dugout did not issue any
01:06warnings.
01:07Juan Soto hit in the ninth inning last
01:09night was not too pleased about it.
01:121-0 pitch and he got him so Freeman's hit by a pitch
01:18kind of figure that was going to come.
01:20Now the umpires are going to convene.
01:23I mean it was as plain as day through
01:25behind him with the first one you knew
01:26the second one had a pretty good chance
01:28of hitting the target.
01:28And Nolan has been ejected from the game.
01:31They protect Soto but they lose their
01:34pitcher.
01:35The umpires had the latitude to read
01:38intent and they think he totally
01:41intended to hit Freddie.
01:42Davey Martinez wants to run out there so
01:44bad right now.
01:45Freddie Freeman and Juan Soto were
01:47talking over their respective hit by
01:49pitches.
01:49Soto last night Freeman today and then
01:52after Freeman was called out at second
01:54base he made his way over to the
01:55Nationals dugout to talk with Davey
01:57Martinez.
01:58Sure like anything they're just talking
01:59about the situation but I guarantee
02:01Freddie wasn't happy about that first
02:03pitch.
02:04Two down for Juan Soto.
02:05Braves finally got him out back in the
02:07first inning a 1-4-3 ground out.
02:102-2 on the way.
02:12Check swing in the dirt they appeal.
02:14Strike three.
02:15And Arno lobs down to first base just to
02:17make it official.
02:18Had a 1-2-3 inning for Tukey.
02:20That's a way to get back in line.
02:21Couple of strikeouts in the inning.
02:23Sits him down in order.
02:24Head to the bottom of the third inning.
02:261-0 Washington.
02:27Bell 281 going way way back.
02:30Breaking ball Josh Bell waiting for
02:33it right center see you later.
02:372-0 Nats on Bell's team leading
02:42twenty fifth of the year.
02:44Do it Josh Bell 431.
02:49Popped him up.
02:50Can anybody catch up to it.
02:52Solaire chugging in.
02:53He slides.
02:54And it's Freddie Freeman who makes the play.
02:57Freddie Freeman with his back to the
02:59infield makes the grab on an over the
03:01shoulder catch.
03:02Wow.
03:02How about this opponents have used a defensive
03:05shift against Adam Duvall seventy three percent of
03:08his plate appearances this season.
03:10Three two pitch.
03:12Swung on and hit hard.
03:13High in the air.
03:14Back towards the wall.
03:16This one is out of the ballpark.
03:19That's how you beat the shift right there.
03:22Homer number thirty three for Adam Duvall that ties a
03:25career high and it puts the Braves on the board.
03:27It's now a 2-1 Washington lead here on the board.
03:29What a year he's having.
03:32He's having a great year just the time he's
03:34playing in a Braves unit.
03:35Sure is.
03:38On the ground.
03:40Riley nice play.
03:41Lost his footing but threw a strike anyway.
03:43That's a beautiful play.
03:45One out.
03:45Yeah nice.
03:46Like you said lost his footing but got up and threw a
03:49strike across which he had to to get him in time.
03:51Ball kind of stayed down on him too.
03:54Eddie Rosario.
03:55Payoff pitch on the way.
03:57Swung on.
03:58Goff to right field.
03:59Heads up in the chop house.
04:02Tie game.
04:03Home run.
04:04Rosario.
04:05His ninth of the year in his fifty second RBI.
04:09It's two to two.
04:10Another player acquired at the trade deadline doing big
04:13things for the Braves.
04:14That's a winner.
04:16Rodriguez will try to continue that with Thomas
04:18Escobar and Soto for Washington.
04:20The pitch is right back where it came from.
04:22Oh a nice scoop by Ozzie in the shift.
04:25The mound might have helped the Braves second baseman
04:27there.
04:27A good positioning and a big first out.
04:34Soto has struggled tonight.
04:36He's hit two soft ground balls and then struck out on a
04:38curve in the dirt.
04:39Here's the wind of the pitch.
04:41Swing and a long drive right center field.
04:44Way back goes this one.
04:45Going going and long long gone.
04:49About ten rows deep into the seats over the big wall in
04:52right center field.
04:53Juan Soto with homer number twenty five.
04:56Gives the Nationals the lead back three to two.
04:59And doesn't that feel oh so good.
05:01After taking a fastball on the ribs in the ninth inning last
05:04night.
05:05Juan Soto put that one into orbit to put the Nationals back in
05:08front.
05:10The one to.
05:11Bell pops it to left.
05:14Rosario who hit a homer earlier makes the catch three to Washington.
05:18Time for the stretch.
05:23Got him looking ninety six.
05:29And this one the other way from Riley.
05:32Soto has it measured.
05:34Huge second out.
05:38Upstairs for the strikeout.
05:40Nice.
05:41Austin both goes into a second inning.
05:44Wander Suero takes care of the end of the seventh.
05:47And that's because of the bullpen hanging tough.
05:50And so does Homer a lead into the eighth.
05:53Lefty lefty for Luis Garcia.
05:55He does.
05:57Right field.
05:59Hernandez scores.
06:00Garcia heading for second.
06:04And the lefty lefty matchup pays off for the Nats.
06:07Luis with RBI number nine and a two run lead in the eighth.
06:11That's a big knock.
06:13Twelve double the season.
06:14It's a big old hanger right there.
06:16That pitch did absolutely nothing.
06:18And he took advantage of it.
06:19It's up to Cal Finnegan now to nail this thing down.
06:22Lefties haven't done much with him.
06:26Bang ninety six up and in.
06:28One out.
06:30See that's my favorite.
06:31Kyle Finnegan right there when he just goes after you at the heater.
06:37Swing and a tip and a strikeout.
06:40Two down.
06:41That's what I'm talking about.
06:45Freeman lashes one to left.
06:47But yeah.
06:48The yellow is there.
06:49And the Nats will win it for two.
06:53On a brilliant night for the bullpen I might add.
06:57The bullpen was money.
06:59We saw some far taters.
07:00Kyle Finnegan was fantastic right there.
07:03Getting a huge out in Freddie Freeman.
07:05A nice curly W for the Nats in Atlanta tonight.
07:07Good night.
07:07Good night.
