Braves fall to Red Sox 5-0
The Atlanta Braves’ offense came up empty Monday afternoon in a 5-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
Touki Toussaint got the start and had a noisy first inning. Kike Hernandez led off the inning with a single but was erased on a double play off the bat of Rafael Devers. Toussaint then walked Xander Bogaerts, who moved up to second a single by J.D. Martinez and then scored on a double by Christian Vazquez. Toussaint allowed a one-out single to Jarren Duran in the second but picked him off to go along with two strikeouts in the frame.
Tyler Matzek made his first appearance of the spring in the third and retired the side in order.
