It was a really good night at the plate last night. Everyone got involved, including Swanson, Ozuna, and Rosario who all tallied 3 hits a piece. Braves scored 13 runs, but only had two homers, the first a 2-run dinger by Arcia and the second a solo shot by Ozuna.
I was wrong in my earlier post. The Braves actually scored 6 two-out runs in the 5th.
Strider was dominant, striking out 13, including 6 in a row during a stretch where he retired 13 straight. Did not have to get into the pen much, as Matzek and Stephens finished the game.
Somehow, the Mets lost to the Nats, who just traded away Juan Soto and Josh Bell for a box of cracker jacks and a case of Bud Light, so we gained a game in the standings, sitting 2.5 back before a big 5 game set with them this weekend.
Have a day game today with Morton going against Wheeler.
