00:01The Braves wrapping up this seven game homestand with a make up game against the San Francisco Giants game three
00:07of the three game series back on June 18th as rained out after the Giants have taken each of the
00:11first two games of that series. The Braves looking for their eighth win in a row as they look to
00:16avoid the three game sweep at the hands of the Giants. And CJ for the 26th time this year Bryce
00:21Elder makes a start. And Bryce Elder is in the sun tonight as well so deal with some shadows here
00:25early on no doubt for him he'll take full advantage of that. He's got a handful of
00:29lefties in the lineup as well tonight thinking about his cutter his sinker and his changeup. I'll bring up Rafi
00:36Devers and this is certainly a matchup to watch tonight. Devers lifetime against Elder is five for six with two
00:44home runs. Drives that one down the right field line. Hooking it is a fair ball and home run number
00:5230 for Devers. He blasts one out of here to put the Giants ahead one nothing.
00:58Rafi Devers wasted no time last time he faced Bryce Elder was that start back on June 27th. Rafi took
01:04him deep twice. I don't think you'll be pitching to him anymore this afternoon or this evening I should say.
01:11Wow. Oh man. Guy who pitched for the Braves earlier this season Anthony Molina. Yeah and he was on the
01:17roster last time the Giants were in town for the Braves but now he's pitching for the Giants. Go figure.
01:22Baldwin gets a hold of this to right center. Long run. Nobody's going to get there.
01:27Long run. Cruising into second leadoff double Drake Baldwin. And Ronald Acuna with a plow to deep right field advancing
01:36Baldwin to third base. Rafael Devers home run put the Giants on the board. Now a base hit could tie
01:42the game with Baldwin at third base. The bad hands of Matt Olsen. Olsen had the walk off winner yesterday.
01:48Here he's going to bring in his 80th run of the season. But he does ground out. Ball game tied.
01:53What a piece.
01:56Andrew Kisner now on the first pitch. He drives one out into the gap. Right center field. Long run for
02:01Harris. Going back. He looks up and it's off the fence. Ball caroms to Acuna.
02:06Kisner has to hurry but he'll slide in safely at second. Acuna's got a cannon out there. But Kisner makes
02:15it. He's got a two out double.
02:16Well Nate Furman. Let's see if Nate can come up with a hit. Furman pulls it into right field. That
02:22is a base hit. Kisner though gets the stop sign. We just showed you the arm of Acuna. And so
02:28even with two outs.
02:31Jay's played that pretty conservatively with the catcher running. Costs. These spots. I think he likes to go to right
02:36field like Furman just did.
02:38Round ball to the left side. Taken on two bounces by Riley. His throw across is true. And there's out
02:43number three.
02:44So Elder pitches around the double and the single. We go to the bottom of the second inning in a
02:481-1 game.
02:50And going back to work now. Anthony Molina. Pitch on the way from the right hander. Swing and a fly
02:54ball to deep center field.
02:56Cox back to the wall. Cox is going to leap. And it's out of his reach and a home run.
03:02Michael Harris drilled it over the left center field wall. Braves take the lead. It's his 23rd homer of the
03:08year.
03:09What a shot to left center by Michael. Fireworks launch overhead as he was going around the base paths.
03:15401 feet of the home run by Harris.
03:18If he'll just keep going to the opposite field like that, everything else works out great.
03:25As Albies swings. Lines one into shallow left. Coming on is Gilbert. Gilbert goes into a slide.
03:31And he makes the catch. Nice play. Drew Gilbert.
03:35A sinking liner. That's taken a high. Ball four.
03:39So good start to the fourth inning here for the Giants. Lead off walk.
03:43Elder trying to avoid back-to-back walks here.
03:46He goes again. Struck him out.
03:48But they will not throw him out. So Lee getting to second base. One down.
03:56Right back to the mound. Going to third. And they've got Lee in a pickle.
03:59And tag him out.
04:01Well done by Bryce Elder and Austin Riley.
04:05And that Jung-Hoo Lee. That is bad base running right there.
04:07You've got to see the ball get past the pitcher before you make this move.
04:12Oh, two to Furman. And he got him looking. Good sinker on the inside corner.
04:17Second strikeout by Elder. No runs. No hits. No errors. One left.
04:21Into the bottom of the fourth. 2-1 Braves.
04:24It's still not been a lot of looks for us.
04:26And I have to say the strike throwing and the ability to just be on the attack.
04:31It's got my attention.
04:35Clipped a piece of the bat and right into the mid. Strike three.
04:38Well, that's one way to get a strikeout.
04:42Got him.
04:44Slider again.
04:45It's the fourth consecutive strikeout.
04:48Payoff. And Harris swings and misses.
04:51Strike three. A 3-2 changeup.
04:54Anthony Molina strikes out the side.
04:56And is now struck out five straight.
04:59Here's that man again.
05:00Devers. The homer.
05:01And then Bryce Elder was very careful with him in the third.
05:04And he walked him.
05:06Devers takes ball four.
05:08They asked for an appeal.
05:09I guess the third base umpire had already given the signal.
05:12Paul Clemens that it was no swing.
05:16Hard hit up the middle.
05:17Base hit.
05:18Devers around second.
05:19He'll head for third.
05:21So Eldridge has a two-out single.
05:24Giants have first and third.
05:25So the cleanup hitter Jonah Cox now with the tying run 90 feet away.
05:29He does show a bunt.
05:30Pushes it sharply right side.
05:32It gets by Olsen and it starts rolling into shallow right field.
05:37Cox has himself a hit and an RBI.
05:41Devers scores.
05:42And the game is tied at two.
05:44That is good cleanup hitting Jonah Cox.
05:47That's what I'm talking about.
05:48If Bryce Eldridge was a little bit faster, he could have got to third on this.
05:51He bundled it so hard past Matt Olsen.
05:53The ball rolled into the outfield.
05:55So he pushed it towards second base.
05:57Was running out of the box and bunting at the same time.
06:00Works out of the stretch and the next pitch lofted into shallow right field.
06:04That's going to drop for a base hit.
06:05Lee can't get to it.
06:07He'll have to play it on a hop.
06:08Austin Riley.
06:09Two for his last 16 after he popped up his first time up.
06:14He struck out all those guys in a row.
06:16Now the Braves are starting to swing a better back.
06:18Murphy and Riley with back-to-back hits.
06:21Runners are at first and third and two down.
06:24Baldwin strolls to the plate with his 67 runs driven.
06:27And you see the Braves have six players with 60 or more.
06:30And only the Cubs have more than that.
06:33One-two pitch sliced into left field.
06:35Sinking.
06:35On comes Gilbert.
06:37And he can't make the catch.
06:39Run scores.
06:40Looked like he was going to get there.
06:42But didn't make the play.
06:44High fastball.
06:45But he got a piece of it.
06:46Did Baldwin.
06:46He really went up to get it.
06:48I don't think Gilbert really saw it well off the bat.
06:50And that ball's in the air a long time for it not to be caught.
06:52The way he played it was like he didn't see it.
06:56You're right.
06:57They are juiced for Matt Olsen.
06:59The 3-2.
07:00Olsen swings.
07:01Hits a high fly ball to left.
07:03Gilbert moving back a few steps.
07:05Now towards the line.
07:06He's under it.
07:07He's got it.
07:08And that's some nice work there from Anthony Molina.
07:11It's the sixth inning.
07:12And the Giants are down by a run again.
07:143-2.
07:15Oslave.
07:16Basabe.
07:18Basabe out to deep center field.
07:19Hit it hard.
07:20Harris back at the wall.
07:22And off the top of the wall.
07:24It's gone.
07:25Bounces over for Basabe.
07:27Who's looking out there to make sure.
07:30But yeah.
07:31Oslave.
07:31That's your fourth home run.
07:33And we've got a tie game again.
07:35I thought for a second Harris the second had it.
07:38It was close.
07:39Top of the sixth inning.
07:413-3 ball game.
07:42Runners on the second.
07:43Third.
07:43One out.
07:43And like a close game.
07:44I like the strategy of it.
07:46It looks like they're going to go with Turner Hill.
07:482-2.
07:49Hill swings.
07:50Lines it over first.
07:51That's a fair ball.
07:52It'll reach the fence on a couple of bounces.
07:56Kisner has scored.
07:58Furman has scored.
07:59And into second with a pinch hit two run double is Turner Hill.
08:06Giants lead 5-3.
08:08Eldridge will come up with a shot to add on.
08:12Line drive.
08:13Base hit for Eldridge.
08:14He's done it again.
08:15Hill around third.
08:16Here comes a throw.
08:18It's late.
08:19And it's 6-3 Giants.
08:22And well earned.
08:23But use the big part of the field.
08:24Left on left.
08:25Just a short stroke.
08:26Compact swing.
08:27Serves it out in the left field.
08:29And this time Gary Pettis is sending.
08:32Yastrzemski we know has a good arm.
08:39There's a shot through the right side.
08:40And a base hit by Riley.
08:42Took the sinker out to right field.
08:44Good start here in the seventh inning.
08:46So with Baldwin coming to the plate.
08:48Tony Pettis is going to go to a lefty here.
08:50Raver San Martin.
08:51First year with the Giants after five seasons in the Reds organization.
08:55Got him.
08:57Changeup.
08:58Left on left.
08:59Changeup.
09:00Want to take advantage of having that three run lead.
09:04As Acuna swings and grounds it to short.
09:07Two hops right to Koss.
09:08He'll glove it.
09:09And a flip to Furman at the bag.
09:10For the force out on Riley.
09:13Ends the inning.
09:13Nice work.
09:14Jonah Cox.
09:16One for four.
09:17I liked that one.
09:18Pushed a bunt for an RBI hit.
09:20He swings here and drives one out to left.
09:22Yastrzemski is back.
09:23He's looking up.
09:24It's gone!
09:27Cleanup hitter.
09:29Jonah Cox.
09:30Lines a home run to left.
09:33Seven to three Giants.
09:35It's like any good cleanup hitter.
09:37He just hit his fourth home run of the year.
09:40I mean, who doesn't want to see more of this kid?
09:42Stole three bases the other day easily.
09:45The safety squeeze, which was a big part of this game.
09:48And he just back knee to home run.
09:50He actually went down to a knee and muscled this one out to left.
09:53And it just got over the shortest part of the wall into the Giants' bullpen.
09:56And a new pitcher coming in for the ninth.
09:58They will use Dylan Smith, even with a four-run lead.
10:01Smith gives up the hit that he walks Murphy.
10:04She'll hold everything.
10:05We're not done yet.
10:07On the ground to third.
10:08Whitcomb to the bag for one.
10:10He'll go to second for two.
10:12And for a moment, I thought, could we?
10:15Possibly.
10:16But no throw was made to first.
10:18Two down.
10:19Two-two.
10:21And he will challenge this one.
10:25Got him!
10:26Game over.
10:27And the Giants come to Atlanta for this make-up game
10:30and win their third game in this ballpark this year.
10:33They win them all for Atlanta.
10:35The seven-game win streak is over.
