The Atlanta Braves looked to change their playoff luck on Monday at SunTrust Park. The Braves haven’t won a playoff series since 2001.
Game 1 was imperative for Atlanta to win if they had any shot of beating the Cardinals in a best of five series. No offense, but Miles Mikolas is much less intimidating than Jack Flaherty for opposing hitters.
Atlanta started the game on the right foot as Keuchel pitched a 1-2-3 first inning with 3 straight ground balls. The offense did their job during the bottom of the first as they drew 2 walks and scored a run.
