00:00What a game it was out in San Francisco last night, a part of an MLB slate on a Monday

00:10that featured many familiar names and arms on the bump.

00:14It was a duel we expected to be good.

00:17It was even better than advertised the RS between Chris Sale and the Braves and Blake

00:22Snell and the Giants on the other side, Atlanta gets a victory in 10 innings.

00:28Travis Darnot and RBI sack fly in extras.

00:31The only run scored in the game.

00:34It was scoreless in regulation.

00:36Atlanta gets a desperately needed win outright as a slight underdog in San Francisco.

00:42But the story of the RS, the starting pitching output of both Chris Sale and Blake Snell,

00:48seven innings of work for sale, zero earned runs given up only three hits in shutout baseball,

00:5512 strikeouts.

00:56He's even stronger now as a national league Cy Young favorite at minus one 40.

01:01The reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell, six and a third, 11 strikeouts, zero earned

01:08runs given up as well.

01:10Only two hits registered by Atlanta.

01:13The Braves get a victory at the end, but what a pitching duel it was by the bay.

01:18No, it certainly was.

01:19You take a look at only seven total hits in this entire game through 10 innings, which

01:23is remarkable to say the least.

01:25And you take a look at the two pitchers, seven innings pitch, 12 K six and a third

01:28innings pitch, 11 strikeouts.

01:30They were both phenomenal.

01:31By the way, the run that Blake Snell is on right now is absolutely incredible, which

01:34is why I liked him at that plus 100 pricing.

01:37Okay.

01:38I don't think the Atlanta Braves going to have all that much offense.

01:39If you would have told me the Braves are going to score one run, it might've been the game

01:43of the millennium.

01:44Like, of course, San Francisco is going to be able to get at least two runs in this game

01:47to win this thing.

01:48They weren't able to do so.

01:49And that's why Chris sale is keeping this Atlanta Braves team in wraps.

01:52If you take a look at the last game that they had in Colorado, what a devastating loss.

01:56What do you need out of your starting pitcher to be an absolute force on the mound through

01:59seven innings, just to keep your team in the game.

02:02He didn't even leave with a lead seven innings, which 12 K he doesn't even lead with a leave

02:06what they lead, which is incredible.

02:08So take a look at that.

02:09Atlanta Braves needed that victory.

02:11Stay in that wild card.

02:12Raising giants.

02:13Take a step back because these two teams jockeying for pretty much the same position out there

02:16in the wild card.

02:17Great win by the Atlanta Braves.

02:22Yeah.
