Braves 5, Natinals 6
“I’m going to trust the consistency and the past performance of these guys. They’re going to hit. They’re not going to not hit. It’s three games in April. They’re going to hit.”
Brian Snitker, April 4, The AthleticThe Braves came into this game with just 12 hits and three runs on the year, and they got seven hits and five runs, four of ’em off Max Scherzer. (Four solo shots: Acuña twice, Freeman and Swanson once each.) That’s good!
The Braves came into this game with a 2.81 team ERA; today, the Braves gave up six runs (four of them “earned”) in eight innings. That’s bad.
