00:00And it's good to have Bryce
00:02Helder back on the mound.
00:03Not only did he throw so well
00:04against the Giants last time,
00:06he was also really good in his
00:07last start against the St. Louis
00:09Cardinals.
00:10So maybe finding something
00:11birdie touched on it.
00:12The key to that great sinker.
00:13Of course, the changeup is very
00:15important.
00:15Slider as well.
00:16We're looking forward to a good
00:17outing tonight from Bryce
00:18Helder.
00:19All right, we're ready to go.
00:20Jung-Hoo Lee stands in.
00:22Jung-Hoo Lee, though, a charge
00:24into this with a center field.
00:25Harris, he has it just in front
00:27of that 400 sign.
00:29Braves country can exhale.
00:31Elliott Ramos the batter.
00:34That is ball four.
00:34So Ramos draws the walk.
00:36We didn't see a lot of walks in
00:37Toronto, so that is an encouraging
00:39sign as you start this series.
00:41So Rafael Devers stands in.
00:43Devers on the ground into right
00:44field base hit.
00:45Ramos jumped right over top it.
00:47That's a good play.
00:48But again, another hard hit.
00:49104 off the bat.
00:51Just the pure, hard, loud contact
00:53is a great sign.
00:54Now Willie Adamas comes up.
00:56This ball drilled out to left
00:58center.
00:59He's going to get over there.
01:00It's going to be Profar.
01:01Tagging from second is Ramos.
01:03He gets to third.
01:05So the Giants now have runners
01:07at first and third with two outs
01:09for Matt Chapman.
01:10Hits that one hard and a fair
01:13ball knocked down at third by
01:16Nacho Alvarez.
01:18And Chapman will be safe at first.
01:19The Giants get a run on the
01:20board.
01:21Yastrzemski back to the mound.
01:25Giants strike first.
01:26Bravo's coming up.
01:28The young right hander Hayden
01:29Birdsong first time he's been on
01:30a game mound in a long time.
01:31The Giants are just looking for
01:32consistency and he's looking for
01:34it as well.
01:34Get into the strike zone as you
01:35see the very three walks in 65
01:38and two thirds innings.
01:39Just trying to clean that up and
01:40attack because this stuff plays at
01:41this level.
01:42It'll be Profar Olsen and Acuna
01:44for the Braves are the bottom of
01:45the first inning.
01:46And a walk for Profar so talking
01:50about Birdsong and some of those
01:52control issues he walked five the
01:55last time he faced the Braves on
01:56June 6th and he starts this game
01:58off with a walk runner at first
02:00Matt Olsen the batter that's off
02:02the mitt of Bailey as it went high
02:04into the backstop and down to
02:05second base now for Jerkson
02:07Profar and he takes ball for back
02:09to back walks by Birdsong and all
02:11these walks lately for Birdsong
02:13he flew the coop with that one
02:15back to back walks and here comes
02:16Ronald Acuna 15 days since his
02:20last start he returns here
02:22tonight and walks the first three
02:24batters they're going to get the
02:25bullpen going Braves gave up one
02:28run in the top of the first
02:29inning but now looking to strike
02:30back here no one out here is
02:32Drake Baldwin Baldwin right center
02:36that's going to plug the gap all
02:39the way to the wall and they are
02:41circling the bases one in
02:43two in three in two one fastball
02:47elevated all over with that
02:49beautiful level swing and off to
02:51the races go the Braves base
02:53runners as Drake Baldwin picks up
02:55three RBIs still no one out here's
02:58Ozzie Albies as some of these CJ
03:01it almost looks like he's trying to
03:02guide that baseball in there four
03:04walks in a three RBI double so far
03:07nobody out whoa and now it's
03:09getting dangerous out there that
03:11one almost hit Murphy up around the
03:13ear hole yeah and you really wonder
03:15if they're thinking about
03:15potentially getting him out of the
03:17game right now did that catch Murph
03:19Murphy says it did and right now for
03:21Bob Melvin he just wants to know if
03:23his reliever is ready and the answer
03:24to that question is yes and Matt
03:27Gage takes over with the bases
03:28loaded still nobody out Atlanta's got
03:30three runs in here in the first
03:32inning to pitch is swung on and miss
03:34struck him out with a slider perfect
03:37pitch right over the outside
03:38corner long last Giants get the
03:42first out of this bottom of the
03:43first inning Michael Harris the
03:45second Harris strikes out on the
03:48fastball went with the four
03:49seamer that Gage has struck out
03:51the first two hitters that he's
03:52faced in this game and he has
03:54back-to-back strikeouts of Alvarez
03:56and Harris but now it's up to Nick
03:57Allen grounded to the left side oh it
04:00gets past Chapman two more coming
04:03home five of the first for the
04:05Braves well that is a thing of
04:08beauty we know how good of a
04:09defender Matt Chapman is and it
04:12looked like he had a feet on this
04:13baseball maybe a high hop he
04:15couldn't even get a glove on it
04:17he'll certainly take it as it leads
04:18to two more runs here but he was
04:20on it and back to the top of the
04:21order to Jerickson Profar one two
04:24pitch he swings and pops it up back
04:26of first Flores out Schmidt angling
04:29out and Schmidt right along the
04:31foul line in fair territory will
04:33reach up to make the catch he's
04:35got a chance here with the runner
04:36in scoring position Flores at
04:38second with nobody out and hits a
04:40fly ball shallow into left center
04:42Profar a long run coming in he
04:44dives and he's unable to make the
04:45catch he trapped it quickly Profar
04:48picks it up Flores had to wait goes
04:51sprinting to third Profar maybe a
04:53little banged up perhaps got the
04:55wind knocked out of him it's a blue
04:57hit for Casey Schmidt and the
04:59Giants have runners at first and
05:00third with nobody out it's Patrick
05:02Bailey now centerfield Harris is
05:05there that's going to be deep
05:06enough to score Wilmer from third
05:08he'll tag Schmidt just bluffing
05:10from first so the sacrifice fly
05:13for Patrick Bailey and the Giants
05:15go one of those runs back it's
05:17five to two so a walk and a single
05:19have him at first and second five
05:20two Braves here's Matt Chapman
05:22Chapman drove in a run with a
05:23single in the first inning first
05:25to Chapman Bouncer to short Allen
05:26has got it to second they get one
05:28as he triggers the first double
05:30play that's the ground ball that
05:32he wanted and a very valuable
05:34double play behind Elder as that
05:37goes six four three to eliminate
05:38Chapman and Adamas Devers over to
05:40third base but that was the best
05:42case scenario right there as Mike
05:44Yastrzemski bats Profar back he's
05:50got it good job by Elder to get out
05:52of it no damage done Giants already
05:54on their third pitcher of the game
05:56trying to add on to this five two
05:57lead here in the fourth and there's
05:59the man who made it happen for the
06:00Braves back in the first inning one
06:01two to Baldwin Bouncer up the
06:04middle out of the reach of the
06:06diving Casey Smith Olsen around
06:08third base and he'll come across
06:10and score Acuna wants to try as
06:11well darts to the plate he dives
06:14he's in there rather to Acuna
06:16running as fast as he could around
06:19and third like a mad dash to the
06:21plate and the hustle drives in a
06:23couple of runs it's seven two
06:25Braves Ozzie down in the left hand
06:28batter's box Baldwin at second and
06:31Ozzie with a single to center and
06:33now Baldwin's going to come home
06:35eight runs already for Atlanta we're
06:37only in the fourth yeah bats have
06:40certainly been quality tonight from
06:42Rafi Devers a one out single here
06:44in the fifth so one on one out now
06:47Adamas Adamas out to left center
06:50Profar didn't see it it gets by him
06:53and it goes to the wall Devers had
06:55to hesitate but now they're going
06:57to send him home Allen will not
06:59make the relay and Devils Devers
07:01will score Adamas into second
07:03Profar lost it in the lights some
07:05good fortune for the Giants there
07:08here's Ronald and he swings and
07:10drives one to deep right center he
07:13wasn't bothered and that baby is
07:15off the bricks Ronald's on his way to
07:18second base to throw in not in time
07:20stand up double Ronald Acuna didn't
07:22care where he threw it from Drake
07:25Baldwin here he is with another RBI
07:26chance man he's driven in five
07:28tonight he sends a fly ball to left
07:31center field fairly deep but Lee is
07:35there oh and he misjudged it and
07:37dropped it Ronald's gonna score and
07:39down to second goes Baldwin what in the
07:41world happened out there to June who
07:43Lee that's wild I mean you don't see
07:45that in the big leagues nine to three
07:47Atlanta Rafael Monteiro will be the
07:50third pitcher of the night for the
07:51Braves nine three Braves lead it's
07:54been going the Braves way tonight
07:55here's Willie Adamas hits that one
07:58deep to left field and it is gone
08:02Willie Adamas a nice game gets even
08:05nicer nine to four put a real good
08:07swing on that one one oh one point five
08:09off the bat 15th home run for Willie
08:11Adamas so it's a lead off walk here
08:14the seventh inning a lot of walks
08:15tonight that is the seventh walk
08:18one two and a swing and a miss
08:21Alvarez he was late that entire at
08:23bat on the Walker fastball
08:25that one in 97 going right by him
08:27one out talking to us today liner to
08:31Chapman and got him double play wow
08:35oof what an arm 110 off the bat
08:38probably 100 miles an hour across the
08:40diamond fantastic play to the top of
08:42the ninth inning and still in your
08:44de los Santos on the mound for the
08:45Braves he has a 9-4 lead he'll be
08:47facing two three and four the Giants
08:49order here in the ninth not Joe
08:52Alvarez diving stuck Olsen on the
08:55other end takes it off the bounce
08:58tremendous effort that is a dazzling
09:00play at third by the rookie Nacho
09:02Alvarez and day by day he continues
09:05to impress more and more with the
09:07Leather he has played himself some
09:08third base over there in the
09:10absence of Austin he has been
09:12picking it over there at the hot
09:13corner hacking a miss by Devers
09:16swinging over the top of the
09:17change up Willie Adamas the
09:19batter Thomas down the left field
09:22line toward the corner and that's
09:24going to hit off the wall and it
09:25takes kind of a funky carom but
09:27just go just keep running he'll
09:31settle for his fourth hit and third
09:33get an extra base in two down for
09:36Matt Chapman he pulls that one
09:38down the left field line that's a
09:39base hit and it's going to go to
09:41the wall that's a good sign you'll
09:44replace Adamas at second as a
09:46Dama scores the old double
09:49double back to back two out
09:52doubles from Adamas and Chapman
09:54proving that the 27th out is
09:56always the toughest one to get
09:58regardless of the score so now
09:59it's just trim skis turn I don't
10:02think we're gonna have to worry
10:03about that right side of the
10:06infield Olsen's got it Braves
10:09win they use a five run first to
10:12catapult their way to a nine five
10:14victory
