Ian Anderson pitched an absolute gem and homers from Austin Riley, Ozzie Albies, Freddie Freeman and (sort of) Adam Duvall powered the Braves to a 9-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday evening.
The Braves got on the board first, but the series of events that led to those runs was anything but ordinary. After a leadoff walk and a double from Freddie “Defending MVP” Freeman, Ozzie Albies drove the first run home on a sac fly to give the Braves a 1-0 lead. A single from Austin Riley would put runners on the corners for Adam Duvall who proceeded to hit a three-run homer.
