00:01Merrill Kelly is on the mound for Arizona with a seven and ten record fastball curveball cutter change up for
00:08Merrill throws a lot of strikes attacks the zone 70 percent strikes with his fastball 70 percent strikes with two
00:15strikes runners in scoring position so he gets after it does not walk a lot of guys so a rough
00:20start here a walk and a two base hit to open the night's game so here's Ozzie Albies and is
00:26banged in the air to deep left field this will send Peralta to the wall he squares up
00:29to it and makes the catch a shot of the warning track that'll send Soler to the plate sacrifice fly
00:35RBI number 98 for Ozzie and it's 1-0 Braves in the first good at bat by Ozzie certainly would
00:42have liked to have gotten a base hit there but spoiled some good pitches kept himself alive and inevitably had
00:49a productive out 1-0 Braves here in the top of the first inning first and third one out now
00:54the batter is Duvall and Duvall smashes one deep to left center
00:59and Adam Duvall has done it again just beyond the reach of McCarthy nobody knows who's got it does Jake
01:07have it he does not it's in the seats Adam Duvall was pointing that out he passed the water yeah
01:13Riley stopped going to second base and Sam Holbrook the crew chief down there might be throwing him out and
01:19in the top of the first inning for the Braves three runs and one what in the world just happened
01:24he has had a tough time in the first inning no question about that 655
01:28ERA in the first inning this season 309 ERA and all other innings so it'll be important for him to
01:33get off to a good start
01:34there's Cole Calhoun in right field tonight batting cleanup lead at first by Marte and that's a fair ball down
01:41the line Marte's on the move it's in the corner
01:44Rosario out there to fish it out here comes Ketel Cole Calhoun has an RBI double nice job of getting
01:51by Cole so another run in the first inning for Ian Anderson this one comes with two outs nice piece
01:57of hit right there got a four seamer
01:59down and away Cole Calhoun just kind of goes with the pitch shoots it down that left field line
02:04well you know Gonzo since he's come back he looked like he never left yeah he's had some great at
02:09-bats we saw that in the series against Houston yeah and he's doing it again here against the Atlanta Braves
02:14Riley five for ten in the series with five RBIs and young man you're in range yeah you are I
02:21have to move back though swing and a drive got the arms extended deep left center
02:26on cue Austin Riley hits a home run number 31 told you needed to move back deep to left center
02:34and way out of here and no doubter and it's his second home run in as many nights RBI number
02:4095 for Austin Riley and it's a 4-1 lead for the Braves
02:46so Atlanta gets that home run back and it is now a 4-1 lead yeah that pretty swing again
02:52there ball was in but a little bit up
02:54and Austin able to get his hands extended on it and that ball went a long way tell you what
03:02the Braves are peppering the concourse aren't they have your hard hat on if you're going to sit out there
03:07man oh man those six straight batters have been retired by Anderson Arizona has two hits a double and a
03:14single Calhoun has the double swung on and missed strike three and he gets him with a changeup and that's
03:20strikeout number five
03:21so seven up seven down for Anderson who's in a nice rhythm got him swinging strike three and it's the
03:29changeup that takes care of Peralta who's now 0 for 8 in this series
03:32Ozzie Albies delivered a sack fly in the first inning his 98th RBI as Ozzie cracks that one down the
03:40right field line did he keep it fair yes he did
03:43six to one Atlanta and Ozzie has his 30th home run of the year and he's got 100 RBIs enjoy
03:52that trot Mr. Albies
03:55how's he looking in that three spot man that's that's fitting in perfectly don't you know he loves getting to
04:01100 with a home run
04:03what a season
04:05Patel Marte has walked and scored and he's taken a call third strike
04:08another shot at Ozzie one hopper easier play throws him out boy an easy inning for Ian there three up
04:16and three down he's retired 14 in a row
04:18Ian Anderson has set a career high now he's retired 14 consecutive batters so far one walk eight strikeouts he's
04:27given up only to two hits
04:28yeah he's really controlled the strike zone and really his best pitch tonight has been that changeup he's had those
04:34deep back hitters off balance all night long
04:36a little chopper big hop and a laser to first to get Varsho 15 straight Arizona hitters have been retired
04:47one down for Cole Calhoun hit in the air to deep left center field spreading over Adam Duvall trying to
04:53run it down he does
04:54great catch by Adam Duvall out in center field he was going over towards that column in left center with
05:01a 413 marking was able to run it down great wheels for Adam
05:05this is a young man authoring a masterpiece round ball into the shift and shallow right there's Austin fires over
05:13to Freddie you can't do any better than Ian Anderson
05:15he's retired 17 straight so Chris Martin is back to work how about the Braves bullpen in September a 270
05:24ERA
05:26that's good to hear you know the bullpens are going to be used down the stretch and in postseason play
05:32these guys as a group peaking at the right time
05:34yeah they sure are I mean they've had their you know ups and downs at times during the course of
05:38this season but
05:39certainly appear to be on the upside right now swing and a drive hit to left hit it pretty well
05:46Rosario back and this one's gone home run only the second of the year here at Chase Field for Walker
05:52his ninth home run of the year of the diebacks have closed the gap a little bit it's 6-2
05:58Christian really got a hold of that one 108 miles an hour off the bat
06:01just a line shot and that was loud off the bat
06:06he got a fastball in the zone and that time guns though he's barreled it up
06:10he did just a nice swing loud pop off the bat he knows he's got it when he hit it
06:16just off the glove of the fan look out
06:20back to the top of the order to Jorge Soler here's the 1-1
06:24hit in the air to deep right going back Calhoun
06:28he's under it makes the catch tagging at third Contreras here comes the throw it goes to second
06:32and they hold there also tagging Jack Peterson
06:35he goes second to third it's a sack fly for Jorge Soler
06:38he drives in the run and it's now 7-2 Braves here in the ninth
06:42Braves get that run back that they gave up in the bottom of the eighth inning
06:45and here's Freddie who has two base hits both doubles two runs scored
06:50no RBIs for Freddie tonight ripped in the air to deep right center field
06:54I'd say he just won the battle that ball might take a bath
06:58that one just took the plunge out in right center
07:01and the Braves increased their lead it's now 9-2 Atlanta
07:05two outs bottom of the ninth runner goes fly ball to left field
