This game was a great opportunity for Atlanta to win another series against a good opponent who is at a disadvantage due to the start time (8:35 AM local time for San Diego) and for Kyle Wright to rebound after his first bad start of the season last time out. Instead we all left with a bad taste in our mouths to sit with for the remainder of our Sunday.
This game did not have to be this way and started out great for the Braves as Kyle Wright came out looking fantastic and Dansby made a great heads up play on the basepath to score the game’s first run in the second inning.
