Atlanta Braves
One hour, two innings. I don't know if I can keep up this rooting thing for 159 more games.
looking like another 6 innings from the bullpen tonight, at least they can rest tomorrow. Hope Thompson is good to go 3-4 innings.
Santana

Carlos Santana walks.
Herrera
In play, out(s) (88.4 mph cutter)
Odubel Herrera flies out to left fielder Preston Tucker.
Santana not getting an out on his cut off of the throw from right didn’t help that inning. They might have had a shot at home had he not cut it off, but he had the runner going to second easily had he not thrown the ball into the ground and way wide of second. Should have been an out and then VV doesn’t throw a bunch of pitches walking Freeman and Markakis, and striking out Tucker.
