2021 NLDS Game 1: Missed opportunities haunt Braves in 2-1 loss

The Atlanta Braves had their chances early but were unable to mount enough offense in a 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the NLDS.

Coming into the series, the expectation was that it would be a low scoring affair with both team’s starting pitchers taking center stage. Well Charlie Morton and Corbin Burnes lived up to that.

It took Burnes a little longer to settle in and the Braves missed out on a scoring opportunity in the first. Burnes began the game by issuing back-to-back walks to Jorge Soler and Freddie Freeman.
