Braves Finally Pick up a Road Win

It’s been such an awful season so far for the Braves, but they finally picked up their first road win on Saturday. It took two runs in the top of the ninth to even the lead, and then in the bottom of the ninth, they almost blew it. Catcher Sean Murphy hit two home runs and drove in two RBIs. Michael Harris II also hit a home run and drove in two RBIs. The Braves offense won but they are still looking for that breakout offensive game. 

The Braves are averaging 3.29 runs per game, while their pitching is giving up 4.07 runs per game. The offense is still ranked 28th in the league. Marcell Ozuna has hit three home runs and driven in seven RBIs. Chris Sale is getting the start for the Braves, and he has an 0-1 record and an ERA of 6.75. Against the Philadelphia Phillies, he went 4.2 innings, giving up nine hits and five runs. 

Slow Start for the Rays

The Rays have had a slow start this season, and there have to be some major concerns about their start. On Saturday, the bullpen was a major issue, and that led to the defeat. Hunter Bigge and Cole Susler both pitched an inning and gave up two runs. In the first game of the series, the Braves gave up two runs in the 8th inning, and they need the bullpen to be a lot better here. 

The Rays are averaging 3.78 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.93 runs per game. The offense is ranked 20th overall and they need to get more balanced offensive attack, 1-9. The Rays are going to send Shane Baz to the mound and he sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 1.38. In 13 innings he has given u up only two runs total.
