McKenzie Gore will make start number 29 fourth time this year against Atlanta 29 start for McKenzie Gore 8 11 432 ra hit on a line out to Center that'll push Jacob young a few steps back and there's out number one oh oh my Eric bakus a little expansion maybe McKenzie gor will take it for his first strike out of the night might be righte dominant on this one cuz this one really came close to the plate as Ozuna crushes one to deep left James Wood back a step shy of the track and a one two three first for McKenzie and the Braves have raldo Lopez going on the mound continuing CJ such a spectacular season he has been great that little breather that he got in the iil we talked about it in the open really seems to have served him well soft grounder Ur shallow is shifted over and he makes a play James Wood stays on that one and drops it into shallow left he's going to think about two and he'll get in there no problem standing up a one out double for James Wood little breaking ball off the plate away nice to be 67 two- strike approach there just kind of doing anything you can to put it in play not going to get a strike out here but he will get a ground out so two away and now wood to Third Base that one comes inside and it got a piece of the batter chaparo not sure exactly where it hit him but it made a loud racket I thought that it hit the knob of the bat yeah I'm a little concerned here with this velocity he's only throwing 92 to 94 and now they're going to come out and check on Lopez so the trainers for the Nationals are checking on chaparo Trainers for the Braves are checking on Lopez one of the first fast balls he threw was 90 and we've seen him 92 93 94 I haven't seen one hotter than 94 out of his hand now acting pitching coach Eric Abu out there as well he and snit and Jeff Stevenson one of the Braves trainers are satisfied for now in heading back to the Braves dugout and the Braves have some action in their Bullpen as they got a few men stretching out there yes called strike at the knees and Lopez is able to get out of it and he gets through the jam in the bottom of the first no runs one hit no errors and two men left in scoring position 3-1 inside and there's a leadoff walk to Olsen onew to Fly ball out towards center field Jacob young sizes it up and he makes the catch in medium depth center field one out good breaking ball there by McKenzie has a strike out of Shawn Murphy for the second out here in the second off the end of the bat Gio Ella out to Dyan Cru in right into the bottom of the second it's a scoreless ball game and Darren just as we suspected Jesse Chavez into the ball game now and Lopez officially out after one inning yeah it's pretty concerning there you know to see one of your horses that has been such a big part of this team's success take a you know take a dive after 25 pitches uh his velocity was way down Garcia drives one out towards deep center field Michael Harris drifting back to his right onto the warning track and he's got it out in deep left center field he can hit he he hit it hard but thankfully for the Braves it's directly at Ramone laurano yes called strike perfectly placed by Chavez a one two3 second one out for Luke Williams Luke grounds one hard out to third kicking off the third baseman Tana he stays with it throws over not in time and it pulled Gallow off the bag Harris ground ball diving stopped though by Garcia that saved a run and Williams advances to third with two outs hopefully we can cash right here now Jorge cair deep to left wood going back and over he won't get there it's going to bounce over the fence for a run producing RBI double for Jorge cair it's one to nothing Atlanta he goes fast ball but he left it out arms side the Braves have him at first and third olon walked in his previous plate appearance out to left Center pretty well hit young Sprints over it's going to bounce up against the wall Marcelo Zuna will stop at third but the Braves get one out of this double it is two to nothing and now here's Ramone laurano with two in scoring position laurano deep to left center field that one is going to bounce up and against the wall three run producing doubles here in the third for Atlanta and it's a four to nothing lead an absolute thing of beauty for the Braves right now with Lopez out early the offense coming alive here against McKenzie Gore Michael Harris climbs in he's ready so is Gore Harris deep to right field crues back he won't get it it's in the bullpen solo shot Michael Harris five to nothing that is his 10th home run of the Season RBI number 36 and the Braves having their way with McKenzie Gore and they' probably tell he been a long time coming so here's Matt Olen Runners at first and second two out grounder through the right side salair around third he's going to score six to nothing RBI single Matt olon inning continues for Ramone Lano loran this time to Right Center he's going to drive another run in Matt olssen also is going to try to get to third he does that successfully Atlanta is rolling in DC right now seven zip here's the pitch to Aria that's driven out towards deep right center field this one's got a shot going to the wall that is over the wall and out of here Orlando Aria just does clear the right Centerfield wall and he homers and the Braves continue to Rattle the cage of Nationals it's now 8 nothing here in the top of the fifth sha Murphy the source of the Lefty deals Shawn Murphy out to left field woodback and that is gone two run Homer Shawn Murphy Atlanta is in double digits that makes it 10 to nothing and partner coming into tonight Atlanta had three homers in the entire month and now they have three homers here in the last few Innings onto the top of the eighth here at DC Braves leading at 10 to nothing missing outside and he starts this outing does rainy with a walk to Adam Duval two dosen and he'll lob one out towards left center field that'll lay down for a hit another base hit for Matt he has been on base now five times in this game sharply hit stopped by taana then he bobbled it and on the Bobble he has nothing to do with it everybody is going to be safe bases are loaded there's still nobody out line drive another hit it's going to score one they will hold Matt Olson at third base but Shawn Murphy with three runs driven in tonight and it is 11 to nothing Atlanta liner to left Matt Olson won't try to tag Tanner rainy and a slider induces a weak swing by Aria for the second out first year back's been a little bit up and down for him after that secher he does give up a run here in the eight but the Braves leave him loaded swing and a miss good start here for Luke Jackson he gets Young on the slider slow roller to Orlando Aria and he does get James Wood by a step two away Ruiz is 0 for three tonight here's another 0 two pitch and he got him after a near Homer a slider and a swing and a miss for Ruiz sends us to the night it's that time of the ball game where you get a position player on the mound Here Comes ilaro Vargas there's Michael Harris oh my Michael hits this into outer space that thing is gone that was a high towering solo shot two tonight for Harris and it's 12 to nothing he knew exactly what to do with that Evas pitch left Center is that going to get down it does in between the guys out there and it bounces into the bullpen Tain it with a ground rule double he waits and he takes a strike at the knees Brave win domination in DC 12 to nothing Atlanta as they shut out the Nets
